By T
Felding is not immediately accessable via the T. Take the Red line to South Station, and
then take the Framingham
Commuter Rail out from South Station to the Wellesley Square stop. (The cost is $2.50.)
Upon exiting the
Commuter Rail, you may find yourself on the wrong side of the tracks (litterally.) Look
for a church and a small
cemetary on a rather busy road. (There should be a large expanse of parking lot between
you and the church.) There
is also a small provincial gas station on the corner to your right. Head for the gas station
and, with the Station at
your back, turn right on the busy road. (This is Rt. 135.) Follow the road for three
blocks, and you will see a sign
that says "Wellesley College, Motor Entrance 1/2 mile." Continue walking along the
road (although you will need to
cross the street at the sign) for half a mile and then follow the On
Campus directions
below.
Once On Campus
- Parking: the first right after turning into the main entrance of Wellesley College is a
parking lot known as
Alumnae Lot. Parking is free here on the weekends.
- Alumnae Hall: This is the brick building adjacent to Alumnae Lot. Usually, we only use the lower portion of the Hall (the Ballroom) which can be found by descending the stairs to the left of the main entrance on the outside of the building.
- Munger Meadow: the Meadow is the grassy area ahead of you and downhill. If you walk out of
Alumnae Lot and follow the road to your right, you will pass Campus Police and reach
the Meadow.
- Severance Green: follow Campus Drive (the road you turned onto from Rt. 135) until
there is a true 'road' to
your right. Follow it and the grassy expanse about 40 feet in front of you is Severance
Green. (There will be a small
Tudor house to your right if you are looking at the right field.)
