Campus Life

Wonderful food, one visit and I ate enough for a small family!

The food is really good. There are lots of options for vegetarians and people with food allergies. But there's only one meal plan and it's a little on the pricey side.

The food here is excellent. There are four dining halls on campus, each within a dorm so you don't have to walk far (or even go outdoors) to get food; there's also two school-run cafes, a fancy dining hall in the campus center, and two student-run eateries. The dining halls in the dorms close at 7, but the one in the campus center is open until 10, and the student-run Cafe Hoop is open until 1 in the morning. The only downside is the lack of fast food. The town of Wellesley is pretty upperclass, so many of the shops close early, and there's only one place (Lemon Thai) that delivers. However, if you've money to spend, there are several nice restaurants that have really good food.

In my honest opinion the food is wonderful. Still, I hear plenty of students complaining. All I can objectively say is that there are plenty of options - we have multiple dining halls that cater to different tastes. I personally have no trouble finding at least one thing that I would love to eat!

The food is ok. We have unlimited food which is nice but sometimes it gets a little repetitive. The dining halls close at 7 except for Lulu which is open until 10. If you want something different it's pretty simple to go into Boston.

Food isn't always the most delicious but you don't have to swipe in and you can go in any time and take as much as you want. I haven't heard of this luxury at any other college. Always a salad bar, allergy station and many dining halls to choose from.

Wellesley tries really hard to provide healthy food options and somewhat succeeds compared to other institutions.

It's college cafetaria food. It has gotten better in the past year, but I don't have high expectations for it, so its not something I really notice.

Though one of the largest complaints on Wellesley's campus is the quality of food, I, personally, enjoy the meals. It isn't Mom's home cooking, but it's definitely not as bad as some other colleges'. The dining service is innovative and accommodating.

i think the food is great. there are lots of vegetarian options, and there's ice cream in all the dining halls at every meal.

No greek life.

We have societies, which are like sororities, but I don't know much about them.

Technically Wellesley has no sororities. That said, there exist three or four societies which are really sororities in all but name. They have initiations and secret traditions, they have their own houses, they hold their own parties... if you want to be part of Greek life, you can. On the other hand, you could consider Wellesley itself to be one giant (and expensive) sorority--and sometimes it does feel like that in all the best ways.

None! Though there are societies that some students enjoy including an Art and Music society and a Shakespeare society.

There is no greek life.

None, but their are societies which are similar.

There is no real Greek life on campus but Wellesley does have societies (which are academic sororities basically). There are black sororities and frats in Boston and MIT has a vibrant Greek scene.

I have no personal experience in Wellesley's greek life, though our now-four Societies are each dedicated to bringing a new, exciting activity to campus.

There are no sororities on campus, but we have societies which are basically the same thing
