Wellesley students have more regular access to the resources and entertainment opportunities in the greater Boston area than any other suburban campus.

That's thanks to the College's own transportation and Boston's public transit systems.  The MIT Exchange and Senate Buses run on weekdays and even more frequently on weekends to locations in Cambridge and Boston's Back Bay; the Wellesley-Olin-Babson Shuttle and the Movie-Mall Shuttle take you to other local colleges and attractions in the area.  Both on-campus shuttle stops are a short walk from your residence hall. The Wellesley Square Commuter Rail stop (on the Framingham/Worcester line) is located in the ville; the Woodland stop (on the Green Line of the "T"- the MBTA subway system) is only a few miles away.
