Campus Life
You go to college to get a solid education and have experiences that
will prepare you for success. But what happens when you're not in
class? Beyond the scholarship, what women recall when they look back at
their Wellesley days are the friendships they formed, the interests they
cultivated, and the activities they pursued. All contributed in positive
ways to the people they are today.
Following is an overview of the Wellesley experience.
- Residence Halls: Wellesley's residence hall system fosters
a sense of community through student self-government and program planning.
The majority of Wellesley students live in one of the 21 residence halls
on campus. In your first and second years, you will share a room with
one to two students; juniors and seniors usually have their own rooms,
however, occasionally upper-class women are in doubles. All residence
halls have both cooking and laundry facilities. For the health and comfort
of our students, employees, and guests, smoking is not permitted in
the residence halls.
- Meal Plans: Almost all of the residence halls have dining facilities
that serve three meals a day. You may eat in any dining hall you wish.
Kosher and vegetarian dining halls are available.
- Campus Hangouts: Molly's Pub, located in Schneider College
Center, is a place to hang out and relax with your friends and listen
to music. Café Hoop offers a coffeehouse atmosphere for studying, snacking,
or chatting. For something more pastoral, you can wander over to Lake
Waban, located on the Wellesley campus. Strolls around the lake, curling
up with a book, sailing, or canoeing are all popular lake-oriented
activities.
- Honor Code: The Wellesley Honor Code, a tradition since 1919,
requires you to display respect, responsibility, and honesty in all
aspects of your student life. The benefits of the code are many, including
self-scheduled exams, guests in the residence halls, open-stack
libraries, and full use of college resources.
