Best Study Spots

Hey Blog and happy almost-Thanksgiving break! Today, I am listing some of my favorite study spots on Wellesley’s campus. I did a post two years ago on my favorite places, so I am updating that list with two new additions! Wellesley’s main library, Clapp Library, is closed for renovation until next summer, so these are the alternatives I have found. …

MTV (WC): Welcome To My Crib

Hello Blog, That’s right. It’s time for a long overdue dorm tour!!! This year I’m living in Pomeroy Hall (Pom <3) for my third year, which I think should make me an honorary “lifer” (someone who lives in the same dorm all 4 years). I got super lucky this year and am living in a block with 4 of my…

Eat the Menu: Wellesley College Edition

Hi Blog, We’re going to do something a little different this week! I am going to show you some of my favorite meals so far from the dining halls on campus (with my sub-par food photography skills). At Wellesley, there are 4 different main dining halls, 2 cafes, and a few student-run co-ops. Most dining halls are either very close…

My last week at Wellesley (For now!)

The time has come for me to say goodbye to Wellesley and the Admission Office, at least for the semester. I will be closing out August back home in New York, and come September, I will be in Greece! As excited as I am to go abroad, I need to wrap up everything at Wellesley (aka start and finish packing),…

Movers and Shakers!

One of the things I really appreciate about being at Wellesley over the summer is our proximity to Boston, whenever I get bored or want to go on an adventure I know the city is only a train ride away. I’m especially grateful for this because last summer I was in a small town in the Berkshires with no car…

Track and Fun

Hi Blog! One of the things I love about Wellesley is PERA, which stands for physical education, recreation, and athletics. I’m part of our cross country and track team, and I run distance events. Athletics has been a way I’ve found a supportive community and gone on adventures. To begin the process of playing a sport in college, I filled…

Discovering Archaeology at Wellesley!

This week marks one month of working in the admissions office, and so far I’ve given 24 tours (according to the tour counter Elise and I have going)! A lot of the students on my tours haven’t decided what they want to study in college, which is an experience I can definitely relate to. I didn’t take my first anthropology…

Hello Blog!

Hi blog, welcome to my page! I’ll be regularly posting weekly recaps for the next few months as I work in the Wellesley Admissions Office this summer. In my first ever post, I’ll be introducing myself and sharing a few pictures from my first ever summer in Massachusetts! My name is Avery, and I grew up in Arizona. However, I…

Introduction

Hi Wellesley! My name is Elise, and I’m excited to be writing a student blog for the summer as I work as an Admissions Summer Intern. Here, I’ll share my summer adventures and what it’s like being a Wellesley student.  I’m a rising junior, so I am part of the purple class of 2026, and I am majoring in chemistry.…
