College Glow-up Guide: What changed since I moved to Wellesley
Hello beautiful people, Here are a few ways Wellesley helped me to level up mentally, emotionally and spiritually! 1 – More comfortable with speaking up in class Classes at Wellesley are discussion based, which encourages students to share their perspectives. I used to be hesitant about speaking up because I was constantly worried I would say the wrong thing or…
Hello again!
Hi everyone! It’s me again! I can’t believe I get to document one more year of my journey at Wellesley.

I’m part of the purple class (’26), and I’m also a prospective neuroscience major—so very excited to talk about science at Wellesley and what not! Before Wellesley, I had never been to the United States before, so…
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.
