<p>I've read that there is a lot of nudity at wesleyan. even though i feel that it is fine for people to be nude if they want to be, i am very uncomfortable with it in close proximity. do you think i'd have a problem at wesleyan then?
Also, I'm haven't found many great pictures of campus, especially of wider views of the campus. Do you know any good sites with pictures? thanks</p>
<p>I can't really deny that since I've been here, there's been a decent amount of nudity... but that's probably pretty similar at most colleges where 18-year-olds are suddenly guardianless and free. And people here just tend to be nice - which means if you're not comfortable with nudity, they will probably be sensitive to that. There is a dorm on campus (WestCo, or West College) which has the reputation of being the "Naked Dorm" because it is supposedly clothing optional. I haven't really noticed this to be true except for an occasional wine & cheese, but when making your dorm requests, you might want to stick away from it if that's a big concern to you.</p>
<p>I don't know about great pictures of campus. There used to be a really useful virtual tour on the website, but it seems they've replaced it with scenes-from-students'-days... I'm not sure why. However, the best way to see the campus is to visit! :D</p>
<p>You can download the Wesleyan screensaver from their website! It's pretty cool, especially there is one picture of the new university center with fireworks overhead, it looks awesome.</p>
<p>where did you read that there's a lot of nudity here? I mean, there's the nonsense about WestCo being a "naked" dorm (which isn't the case), but i mean, aside from the occasional streakers (which happens from time to time and is VERY funny, not weird/odd as it seems it would be) there's nothing to be worried about. And it's SO pretty here...if you look through the section on the website called the university master plan there's a bunch of pictures.</p>
<p>Yeah, most of the really pretty stuff tends to be with the admissions mailings. However, two of the most interesting web-specific sites, IMO, are the construction web cams for the student center:</p>
<p>and the one for Fauver Dorms:</p>
<p><a href="http://fauverfieldcam.its.wesleyan.edu/%5B/url%5D">http://fauverfieldcam.its.wesleyan.edu/</a></p>
<p>Both give fairly wide angle views of two central portions of campus. Directly behind the student center is a fairly all inclusive view of the ultra-modern Center for the Arts which occupies eleven acres of land. You will note the proximity of lots of little wood-frame houses around the Fauver site; it is a very typical example of the neighborhood around campus.</p>
<p>I've been at wesleyan all semster and i haven't seen a single naked person. Nudity is nowhere near as prominent as the old wives tales would have you believe.</p>
<p>There is definitely not a LOT of nudity... more along the lines of random streakers through the dining hall. It's happened only twice this semester. I promise it's not a big deal. And I guess it probably depends on who you hang out with. None of my friends have ever gotten naked in public.</p>
<p>Though, as a sidenote, there's a naked party (which not nearly everyone goes to) on the last day of classes each semester, and tonight is that night.</p>
<p>madjoy please report back on that!</p>
<p>As others have already said, there is not a LOT of nudity here. There are some streakers, but most people find it fun, IMO. So far this semester I've seen 4 times, all males. still waiting for the females (they have that, right?)
Yeah, I got a short notice in my mailbox about naked party 12/12. don't think i'm gonna go tho.
I don't live in the Naked Dorm but so far haven't heard of anything.
But I know in Fauver, underwear parties are becoming pop.</p>
