The world’s preeminent college for women, Wellesley has a full immersion culture: There’s a nearly irresistible energy that brings people and ideas together—from the classroom to the campus and beyond.
Most students live on campus in Residence Halls—each ResHall represents its own welcoming and organic community shaped and governed by the residents themselves.
Wellesley is an exuberant community committed to inclusion. Students are encouraged to celebrate difference and build community from common ground and a shared understanding of what is possible. Engaging in our multicultural, pluralistic, and diverse student body enriches learning, as well as life experience.
Readying Women to Make a Difference in the World
Wellesley is committed to preparing women to think big and reach far. Our mission is not just to increase students’ understanding of the global world; it is to educate Wellesley women for leadership in that world.
Students Who Like to Get Involved
Activities, clubs, and organizations abound. There is a group for just about any interest you may have and with Boston nearby, the options for fun multiply a hundredfold.
Women Who Have a Talent for Getting Things Done
Wellesley has always been highly regarded as a place for developing leadership skills and community involvement. Whether on campus or off, there are jobs, volunteer opportunities, internships, summer offerings— innumerable ways to connect your education with the outside world.
The vibrant, intellectual life at Wellesley is driven by what is taught in the classroom… and then enhanced by experiences throughout the campus, the community, and the world.
Ballroom Dancing
The Wellesley College Ballroom Dance Team is made up of women from all four classes with one thing in common: we love to dance! We train alongside the MIT Ballroom Dance Team and compete in ballroom competitions all over the East Coast throughout the year. We have dancers in every level, from newcomer up to championship. We also perform on campus and periodically offer social ballroom classes.
