Wellesley 2023 Social Life, Culture Questions

Colleges and Universities A-Z Wellesley College
1

Hi I got accepted as apart of Wellesley’s class of 2023 and I would like to ask a few questions about Wellesley and its culture.

  1. What is it like being a Comp Sci major? Are there many internships and research opportunities? MIT comp sci classes?

  2. Boys. I know everyone asks this question, but oftentimes people gloss over the answer or are super vague. How do boys from surrounding colleges (MIT, Olin, BU, Harvard, etc.) interact with Wellesley girls? Is it easy to make boy friends from other schools? How is dating (as a straight girl at Wellesley) like? Do most guys just want to hook up?

  1. Drinking. Do alot of people drink on campus? Is drinking a huge thing at Wellesley? Are they super strict about people drinking?
  2. Making friends. Is it easy to make friends? How would u reccomend making friends at Wellesley?

  1. Wellesley has a consortium program with other local schools, so you can take classes at nearby co-ed schools and they can take classes at Wellesley. Also, in an urban area, the party scene is always multi-college. You'll be okay finding guys ;-)...As for guys "just wanting to hook up" is what you will find at most places, so I wouldn't know how to answer that.
  2. The key to making friends is to say yes to social events and joining some clubs. Good luck!
