<p>I have created this thread for the purpose of reassuring any prospective students about Wellesley's social life! I have been here for about two weeks and I am amazed by the number of possibilities. So much has been going on that I have had a very difficult time saying "no" to tempting events that are going on. Wellesley itself always has something going on, whether it is a belly dancing class or a movie night.</p>
<p>THE FOOD IS AMAZING. <--(had to put that out there)</p>
<p>And yes, I have met boys! Of course, it required me to get off campus, but it was worth it. I admit that I did not expect to meet any guys, but during my first couple of weeks I was asked out by several guys (my friends here have had similar experiences)...must be the Wellesley charm! ;D</p>
<p>So yes, Wellesley is AMAZING. Some of you may have already known that, but others may have been doubtful. PM me or etc. if you have any questions about anything (how my classes are, how the students are, how we meet guys, etc.)</p>
<p>Wellesley really did revamp and improve the dining plan this year (in my humble opinion, of course), most notably by putting the campus center dining hall on the board plan (ie, same privileges there as at any other dining hall, except with more & better food).</p>
<p>IMHO, the food varies from amazing to not so amazing. The Lulu and Bates are my two favorites. Caz not so much.
I love the Wellesley News' sarcastic coverage of the revamped dining halls. Go to the Lulu for "inspirational dining!" Stylish. Personalized. Authentic. Go to Tower for "interactive Dining!" (What exactly does that mean??)</p>
<p>Hmm, I eat breakfast at Caz fairly often and I enjoy (although it is the most bulletproof meal of the day). Mostly, I'm super in love with the Lulu being on the board plan. So that affects my opinion of the dining in general.</p>
<p>Hi Catsushi Posting on my D's name and as a mom hoping my first year is happy . She is in Tower which has limited first years. Thanks for a encouraging post!</p>
<p>My D reported a similar experience. She did not call the food "amazing", but said it was very good. My D can be a picky eater, so "very good" is probably "excellent" as far as college food goes :)</p>
<p>Tower has a "display bar" that is open on school nights, and you can have a custom wrap or whatever they're serving that week. The line is often prohibitively long.</p>
<p>because this is a social life forum, ill tell you my experiences as a first year here..... its absolutely amazing! first i was so scared to go to an all woman's college... its the best decision i made. first if you do go out to babson/mit/olin/harvard/tufts/bu/northeastern (the possibilities r endless) u can come home to a clean and quiet campus and not have to deal with wierd or creepy guys that you sometimes encounter at parties. its so fun to go out with ur firends and take the ftruck and boston is great. I was also worried before i got to wellesley that no one partied and everyone was really antisocial and always studying. We do study a lot and go out (if you want) a lot. You can find people throwing little dorm parties, watching movies, studying, going out to boston, etc on the weekends</p>
<p>Welcome to CC, firstyearfornow. I completely second what you just said.</p>
<p>Basically the social life is what you make it to be. You can sit around on your butt all day and complain that there's nothing going on, or you can take the Peter Pan bus/cuddle shuttle/ftruck/stab cab (numerous nicknames for this one bus you'll soon discover) and find something cool to do.</p>
<p>i looove everything about wellesley! the social life is way better than i thought it would be, and the food is great... i don't know how much i agree with bates, but the lulu is ridiculously good. i also wasn't asked out by several guys in the first few weeks.... lol... but its definitely easy to meet cute & normal guys on other campuses.</p>
<p>Another first year here! Social life at Wellesley is so great. It really is up to you to make it fun. I know that my friends and I go out Fridays & Saturdays to different parties.. we can even say that we have a solid circle of "guy friends", but we're ALWAYS meeting new people from different schools. Wellesley definitely makes it easy for you to have fun. </p>
<p>If you're not that party type, there are always fun, miscellaneous activities going on on/outside campus. </p>
<p>The opportunities are truly endless.</p>
<p>Concerning the food, I think it's pretty good - better than what I expected. I miss the food from home because of the flavors and such, but that doesn't mean that the food here is BAD.. I'm just not totally used to the flavor yet.</p>
<p>Ha ha and word to the board...despite my "anxious avatar," this is not me pushing this on her. I see it as a perfect fit and she is definitely interested. Like her siblings before her, she trusts the old man to get good info on here...high school kids are far too busy to get on these groups. She knows the final decision is hers, like both the older kids. ;)</p>
<p>hey catsushi~
i read that "my roomie sometimes eats two dinners" comment there.</p>
<p>And since i'm your roomie...thanks for sharing that with the world! LOL XD</p>
<p>But it's true. The food's great <3 Especially at Stone Davis, which is open until 10:30 pm on weekdays! And the Wang has great food, too. It's like Wellesley's fine dining, and it's free =]</p>
<p>Social life is definitely amazing~ I have as many guy friends as girl friends, actually, and some of my closest friends are guys. So definitely don't worry about Wellesley being an "all girls school". =]</p>
<p>Update: we visited the campus on Saturday...while most of you were away, we got to see it thanks to our nice tour guide, a first year who was also giving her first tour.
DD loved the place as I anticipated(wise old dad). WC is certainly beautiful and I was very impressed myself.
I figured it would be good to give her an idea of what the campus was like and what the school offered her. Gives her a goal to shoot for and helps her to keep her "eye on the prize."</p>
