To finish off our semester in Geneva, the undergraduate program had a little farewell lunch. We gathered with the coordinators of the program and our mentor to discuss our past semester. What we learned, what we saw and what we are taking away. We also discussed our future and plans for the summer. We ate lunch at a beautiful restaurant…

So Long, and Thanks for Everything
Dear All, 8 months, 23 blog posts, and about 13,000 words later, my career as a Wellesley admissions blogger is finally coming to a close. It’s been quite a ride! From sharing my love of Lake Waban to chronicling the strange odyssey that was the weird mermaid psych class, we’ve gone some places. I hope you’ll forgive me if I…
time flies
One of my favorite things about Geneva is the diversity of people. There are people from all over the world in Geneva. In fact, I do not know many actual Swiss people, everyone seems to have origins somewhere else. Living in Geneva does not feel very Swiss, and in fact, many Swiss people outside of Geneva would not consider it…
Class of 2023 Advice, Part 2
As promised, here’s part two of my list of tips for people coming to Wellesley for the first time! (Full disclosure, last week’s gosling picture was from my sophomore year, but the new photo is from this year’s geese family!) -Go to the student theater shows. They’re free! And they’re really good! There are often yummy snacks! -I’m not your…
swiss cheese, swiss cheeses ?
Switzerland is the land of cheese. And yes, Swiss cheese is not real Swiss cheese. There are apparently many different types of cheeses in Switzerland. So, this week, our program group decided to explore where it’s most famous cheese is made, Gruyères. The town is a small town in the Swiss countryside where the grass is green, cows are plenty…
Hidden Gems at Wellesley: Cooking Nights!
Hello hello! I don’t normally post on the weekends, but today I wanted to talk about one of Wellesley’s most underrated features (in my opinion): cooking nights! I attended my first ever cooking night last semester, and ever since then, I’ve kept my eye out for more. I remember the first time I showed up so nervous, because I didn’t…
spring break
This past week was Spring break. Here in Geneva, Spring break coincides with Easter so many folks decided to go home to celebrate with their families. It’s funny to write about Spring break, as I know that the semester at Wellesley is coming to an end and some of you are finally choosing your next steps in your educational career. Next…
The Babson, Olin, Wellesley Collaboration
Hello hello! Happy Thursday everybody! Today I wanted to talk about the Babson, Olin, Wellesley (BOW) collaboration. All three colleges are located in the town of Wellesley, MA – Babson and Olin are short 10 minute drive away from Wellesley. Free shuttles are running between the colleges constantly, whether students want to take classes at the other colleges, participate in…
9 Things To Do When Visiting Wellesley (With Your Parents)
Go out to dinner. Our small town of Wellesley is sweet but a little pricey. Lots of students take the bus into Boston to explore in the evenings, but if you’re sticking around Wellesley, having a parent about to fund your dinner out is a good idea. Poke around the dorms. If your parents have been to college, they’ll know…
Weekend Updates
Hello hello! This past weekend was crazy busy: a NYC trip, MarMon (Boston marathon Monday!), warm weather, and much more. Campus is bursting with Spring colors right now – flowers and trees are blooming everywhere! My particular favorite is the tree outside Caz and Pom, in the Quad. It’s quite a popular tree (there have been many instagram posts), and…
