Hello everyone! My name is Vyara (she/her), and I’m once again one of your student bloggers! I’m an international student from Bulgaria, a current sophomore (it feels weird saying that instead of “I’m a freshman!”), and I’m a future physics major. My hobbies include reading, listening to music, and scrolling through Pinterest (yes, that does sound a bit boring on…

Lamisa Shirin Hossain
LAMISA – [Senior Interviews 1] The first person I’ve interviewed for this project is my friend Lamisa. She and I work together a lot this year as President and Vice President of Slater International Student Organization. We met our first year during pre-orientation and decided our sophomore spring, before both going abroad for a semester, that we’d devote time to Slater…
New Blog Series starting Friday
Slater Culture Show was so successful! I honestly think this was the smoothest, best organized, most fun show I’ve been to/been a part of at Wellesley.

Decision Making: my experience as an International Student
*****^_^*Spring is here~~~!!*^_^**** Congratulations to all of you who received some great news last week. LONG (but hopefully helpful) post to follow: be warned.

I promise, I’ve been studying, but I’ve found that a lot of the events (lectures, movie screenings) I attend at Wellesley are far more interesting to talk about, as well as definitive of what my experience here is really like. So, here is a quick run down of four events I attended…
