<p>Wellesley is one of my top choices. I'm mainly looking at selective, small, liberal arts colleges in the North East but going to a college where I will have lots of fun is also important to me too. I know that Wellesley is an all girls school which is fine by me, but I want to know if being an all girls school affects the party scene? I also know that Wellesley is a dry town. This concerns me. </p>
<p>My other top choice is Vassar. </p>
<p>Thoughts?</p>
<p>I go to school around Boston and have a friend at Wellesley. Having gone there a few weekends I can say the party scene doesn’t seem to be at Wellesley. All the parties are at MIT. There is a bus that will take you to and from MIT until 2 or 3 am (I can’t remember) on the weekends.</p>
<p>thank you for your advice :)</p>
<p>Hi! I’m going to be a freshman at Wellesley this fall. I don’t know much but I will tell you what I do know. When I was visiting during Spring Open Campus, my host took me and a few other students to a few MIT frat parties. You take the Peter Pan to MIT for $3 and it takes you directly there. I’ve heard that Wellesley does have a few huge parties, but otherwise isn’t a big party school (which is what I actually preferred). If you’re the partying type, you can definitely get to other schools for them (MIT, Harvard, Boston U, Olin, Babson, etc) fairly easily. Boston is a college town, so at least there’s a lot of selection!</p>
<p>As for the drinking, Wellesley has it’s own pub in the Lulu. I’ve heard there are a lot of events there during the week/weekend and you don’t have to be over 21 to get in.</p>
