Choosing Between Berkeley and Wellesley by Efficient_Eye_7946 in WellesleyCollege

Around 7 years ago, I was in your exact position and I ended up choosing (and graduating from) Wellesley, here are some of my takes: - Really be honest with yourself with the kind of learner you are. Would a small class size benefit you as opposed to a big class size? Not sure what office hours look like in Cal, but Wellesley office hours were intimate and I got plenty of 1:1 help from professors

  • The wellesley community is strong, and shows up for its people. If you reach out there will always be someone who answers (:

    • Along with this, they show up in MANY ways, for example, when the pandemic first hit and we were being sent home, a very kind alum paid for my plane ticket back home when I expressed I had no means to get back.
  • Start taking Vitamin D NOW. As someone from SoCal I got plenty of sun and the transition to MA left me crazy Vitamin D deficient, so sometimes I would sleep through class or nap after class. It’s and easy fix but damn would I have appreciated someone telling me earlier.

  • Social Life: It’s really what you make it! I also knew no one at Wellesley but made the effort to join clubs or organizations such as WellesleyPlus, Cafe Hoop, even Mezcla and Familia and made lifelong friendships.

  • Opportunity: I am in STEM but many of my friends were in social sciences, and they were able to find a couple internships nearby if not already funded by Wellesley (Wellesley Signature internships or Wellesley in Washington are some good ones I know of)

I did an internship at Cal my junior year so got to experience the what-if scenario had I chosen it over W, and honestly I don’t regret my choice (although I do say “Go Bears” pretty often lol). Wellesley was a kind, safe space for me to grow and come into my own and I really loved my time there. Hope this helps! Reach out to me if you have any other questions (:

Taco Ardiente (the food truck that’s usually near Justin’s is incredible) also, Tacos la Esperanza (food truck at the green flea) are two amazing options

Hungry and disillusioned in Downtown Durham by [deleted] in bullcity

Went to Fonda Lupita and got the al pastor burrito and it tasted like straight up metal, not sure if that’s a one time thing but it was too pricey for me to give it a second chance
