Around Town

Parties

Sledding on the big in hill when it snows! Go to the theater, check out the campus museum. Constant speakers. Dances. Opportunities to volunteer outside campus (in the community). Trips.

Go to the Boston Commons. There's a really nice park, ice skating in the Winter, and nice movie theaters around there. There's a great comedy studio in Cambridge. And there's a thrift store near Kendall Square called Garment District which is really good.

Well, often people are studying... But fun's to be there if you want it. Student government and various organizations hold several parties a semester on campus; if you want to do something on a Saturday night, the best bet is to go off-campus to one of the local colleges. But you will have to pay for transportation. That said, there are a huge number of orgs on campus for you to join as well as several Societies which technically are not sororities but really are. There's usually something happening on campus, whether a performance or a party or maybe just the weekly movies hosted by the cinema club, but campus is pretty quiet past 11.

Go to Boston! Walk around the lake! Study! There are always things to do.

You can go into Boston or watch a movie at Collins Cinema. There are also events during the week.

Hang out with friends around campus on one of the many open greens. Go down by the lake and rent a boat, run around it, or just sit and read with the awesome view. Take the Peter Pan bus into Boston or to one of the many schools in the area. Or rent a zip-car and go on an adventure with some friends.

Boston and Cambridge will be your best friend. Take advantage of the free Peter Pan during the week and make sure you have tokens for the weekend.

There's the city of Boston nearby, but there is just as enough fun to have on campus. There are concerts and sports games on most weekends, along with parties and mixers if not at Wellesley, at any of the other consortium schools. MIT, Olin, and Babson are accessible via the exchange bus during the week, so if you're looking for something to do take advantage of activities at any of the four schools.

Various Wellesley orgs (campus organizations) hold parties, pub nights and other events on-campus, but there is also an extremely convenient way to get into the city to visit MIT, Harvard, Berklee, BC, BU and the other surrounding colleges and universities (as well as, say, Newbury Street). The bus stops along Harvard, MIT and in the middle of Boston and is very easily accessible. Running at all kinds of hours, this also allows for safe and easy transportation to and from parties or other events outside of Wellesley's campus.
