<p>@ToraTori omg the same thing happens to me! That school is in Delaware, correct? I live in SE PA, so I get people confusing the two all the time. I have had people bring in postcards from the school and be like “Look, it’s your school!!” and I have to break it to them that they have it completely messed up and that I’m looking at places a LOT more rigorous. </p>
<p>@DoctorDebbi Yea, it’s near Dover. I literally JUST got an email from them… I read “There’s still time to apply” and I thought that the sender tag said “Wellesley” but it turns out it was “Wesley.” Nearly had a mini heart attack. </p>
<p>@mbenn8 I think that most college dorms have beds on the floor – where else would they be? Haha… I know what you meant, though 
After sleeping on four different college campuses, I’m relatively sure that most beds come on the floor, but you can bunk them if you like. There’s usually a peg that sticks out the top of each of the four top posts; you connect them to the openings on the bottom four posts of the second bed. They’re stackable~</p>
<p>@mbenn8 All of the beds are on the floor. x-long twins size</p>
<p>@ToraTori I’m happy to help you!! It’s nice to meet you guys!! :x
- yes
- yes, on the first floor
- yes, also on the first floor
- there was one bathroom on each floor
- 2 floors
- yes, $1 per load
- nope</p>
<p>I don’t know if you can choose your house and roommates in your freshman year. BTW, there are no freshman halls at Wellesley. </p>
<p>Right now, I wouldn’t care much about housing. If I can get in, I am happy with any house :x </p>
<p>Tomorrow will be 4 more days 
</p>
<p>does anyone know how many people applied this year for ed? i’m just sitting here awkwardly waiting for a sign or a miracle X_X </p>
<p>Hellooooo guys=) Just wanna introduce myself because I applied for Wellesley ED too!
I’m Elaine from Iowa. (Originally from China but had my whole high school career here in the states.)
Like everyone else, as the result time is approaching, I’m getting more and more nervous!
I do have a lot extracurricular, that’s probably why I don’t really have time to study for all the stupid tests… So I’m really afraid that the SAT score will highly affect my chafes to get in. Uhhhhhh…
I did go to Wellesley Pre-Summer Program and felt in love with Wellesley right away. Lived in Dower, except no AC during summer, it is a place that I really felt like home.
So ya, decided to join all of ya to be nervous together=)
4 more days!</p>
<p>Are you Lucia??!!</p>
<p>@elainezhang yes!!!</p>
<p>Wow, now the NameNotAvailable has a name.</p>
<p>2 days 21 hours and 58 minutes!! 
</p>
<p>What language are you guys going to take when we get in? (lol already assuming we all will). I’m thinking about German since I’m already fluent in Mandarin. But I would also love to study in China for a year or semester! </p>
<p>I am so nervous guys. </p>
<p>@lillmissyy I’m interested in Japanese and maybe Chinese or Korean if I have room in my schedule (I know it’s early to be thinking about this, but I was researching graduate school opportunities and, for a Masters or a PhD in Japanese Lang/Lit, proficiency in two or more East Asian Languages is required, so its best to take at least one or two introductory courses during undergrad studies.) </p>
<p>I’ve heard that about 60% of the Wellesley Junior Class studies abroad each year because it fulfills one of the cultural requirements for graduation. Actually, one of the Wellesley students who has a blog is studying abroad in China right now, so for anyone who’s interested in studying abroad, check it out!

<p>Also if anyone is interested in advanced language study at Wellesley, they offer nice immersion options in the dorms – there’s a Spanish House, a French House, and, as far as I’m aware, there are also Russian, German, and Japanese hallways within certain dorms.</p>
<p>And, speaking of awesome Wellesley blogs, I’ll link you all to some of my favorites:

<p>@lilmissyy you should definitely study German! One of my sisters who went to Wellesley was a German major and she loved the program! It’s a smaller department so it has many benefits</p>
<p>@ToraTori I’d heard of overheardatwellesley, but those other blogs look interesting! There’s also a tumblr blog I thought was helpful of a W student, firstyearwendy.■■■■■■■■■■
One of my family members went to Georgetown for Japanese, but she never uses it, save sometimes when she talks to her husband with it. She’s told me that unless you plan on living/working in Japan, it’s not a good language to study because it’s only spoken in Japan.</p>
<p>I’m thinking of staring over with Spanish. I’m in AP Spanish at my school, but I’d like to become fully fluent. Otherwise I may study French.</p>
<p>Where would you guys like to study abroad?</p>
<p>Oh Lucia I missed you so much! I’m hoping that we can both get in! That will be extra awesome! We should all post the result here whether or not we got accepted or not! 3 more days!</p>
<p>@mbenn8 I’ve been studying Japanese formally for four years and I’ve studied abroad in Japan; from my experiences, I’m happy to say that Japanese is my passion and that I plan to go into foreign diplomacy with a specific concentration in Japan. As my graduation year is 2019 and the Olympics are being held in Japan in 2020, I hope to have many options available for employment. Therefore, I want to major in Japanese Language while at Wellesley, and will possibley double-major in International Relations (concentration in Economics) if all of the college credits I earned during high school transfer, creating enough space in my schedule to allow for that double major. So don’t worry – I do plan to use the language heavily in my daily life post-graduation </p>
<p>@ToraTori That’s awesome!! I lived in Japan for six years, I understand why you’re so interested in it. I figured I’d mention that because I’ve come across a lot of people who want to study Japanese arbitrarily just because it seems cool, so I’m glad you’re doing it for (what I see as, anyway) a legitimately good, useful reason :)</p>
<p>Damn. I wish my life was as put together as yours, @toratori</p>
<p>But I think I’ll be dabbling between Japanese and Korean until I decide between the two! I’ve been studying Japanese for the last four years both at school and independently and really want to continue with my studies…but I also want to become fluent in my native language (I’m Korean, but I can hardly speak Korean…even though I can understand everything when people talk to me in Korean) </p>
<p>@mbenn8 Oh, what area of Japan did you live in? When I studied abroad, we traveled from Tokyo to Nara to Ito City to Kyoto to Gifu and, finally, to Hiroshima, but I’ve always wanted to visit Hokkaido or Osaka. Out of the all places we visited, my favorites were Ito City and Kyoto! When (if, blah blah…) we get in and you want to brush up on your Japanese, I’m always available to chat, haha! 一緒に日本語を勉強しましょう〜</p>
<p>And, yes, I’ve definently met some of those people, haha… rest assured, my love for Japanese language and culture is genuine, not some passing phase or superficial desire, and I do intend to use it to make a difference in the world. B-) </p>
<p>@ToraTori I’ll only be able to speak to you in very basic Japanese, I learned Spanish instead of it, haha. I’ll totally take you up on that though! I lived on Okinawa and in Yokosuka, both for three years. I visited Kyoto, Nara, Nagano, Chiba, and a few other places, and was in Tokyo pretty frequently. The best way I can describe Osaka would be if you mixed NYC and Tokyo, will all of the great shops and food and cute alleyways of Tokyo and the huge streets and sidewalks of NYC. What program did you do study abroad with?</p>
<p>That’s why I want to keep up with Spanish or take French. I’d love to work for the UN, so languages aren’t just a passing HS credit requirement for me.</p>
