What the School Says...

Nearly all Wellesley students (98 percent) live in campus residence halls, with close-knit communities. Residence halls are a key feature of the social life at Wellesley; they sponsor parties, concerts, lectures, faculty dinners, and professional-in-residence programs, while also being a place to gather informally. Students also have extraordinary opportunities to cultivate their leadership skills.
