To connect with Wellesley, first consider your in-person and virtual options. If you’re able to visit campus, we currently offer self-guided tours and student-led tours. To achieve peak-ish Wellesley, we recommend that you attend both an information session and a self-guided campus tour. Each tour lasts about 80 minutes and covers topics including the first-year experience, classroom dynamics, research opportunities, internships, study abroad, the benefits of attending a women’s college, and the admission and financial aid process. Can’t make it to campus? Fret not! Join us for a Wellesley Webinar, Student-to-Student Chat, or a Wellesley event in your area! Want to explore campus virtually?
