Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The Keohane Sports Center is attractive and well maintained, with all that one would expect from a gym. The lack of exercise equipment, however, is a big complaint among students, particularly with those who trek over to the sports center to find a line for one of the few working treadmills (one always seems to be out of order). Runners might be better off taking to the path around the lake, a less-crowded and prettier, yet more rugged, option. The relatively new Lulu Wang Campus Center, in all of its modern architecture glory, is widely loved and is a popular place for students to eat, study, and chill.

The computer labs are all very nice, and most are also stocked with comfortable couches and armchairs. Classrooms in Pendleton and the Science Center tend to be well laid out and high tech, though those in Founders are cramped and stuffed with Wellesley’s signature big, wooden straight-backed chairs. The Science Center is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with its Mondrian-esque exterior encasing the remains of the old brick building inside. The campus is indisputably gorgeous, and walking up to Tower Great Hall or the Quad can get your heart beating faster. The New Dorms (Bates, Freeman, McAfee), on the other hand, may make you break out in a cold sweat, but they serve their purpose—and they’re mostly hidden by trees, anyway.

Beautiful Campus

The campus and facilities are beautiful. While the buildings retain their original gothic structures, even the dormitories, the insides are up to date and cozy. The science center is an amazing architectural feat, and well worth a visit. The athletic facilities are easily accessible and provide a variety of equipment, include spinning machines, ellipticals, and treadmills. Most dorms have work out rooms of their own.

Facilities

Athletic center needs serious renovations. There are never enough machines and the roof is leaking. I think the school needs to make the athletic center way more non-athlete friendly. Apart from that, the rest of the buildings on campus are pretty up to date and comfortable, and generally serve their purposes.

Beautiful Campus

Wellesley's campus is always rated one of the most attractive. The buildings are diverse, and the campus groups are always trying to get people involved. The student center is really modern, and the academic buildings are rich with history and have a New England feel.
