Lulu Chow Wang Campus Center

The next stop on your tour (Academic Quad) requires the use of stairs. For an alternative accessible route, follow the sidewalk on College Road to the stop labeled “Green Hall.” (Hint: Feel free to split up and reunite with your party at the “Green Hall” stop.)

Open 24 hours, it houses a bookstore, dining hall, coffee bar, student-run café and pub, spaces for performances and social functions, student mailboxes, the school post office, and many (many!) meeting rooms. Lulu Chow Wang ’66, for whom it’s named, says it best: “The Campus Center reminds us to enjoy ourselves, restore the balance in our lives, and share the profound as well as the frivolous with old and new friends.”

Wellesley has four dining halls (and 5 cafes / pubs / grab-and-go stores) spread out across campus. The meal plan is pretty simple, too. At meal time, you can eat as much as you want at any dining hall on campus. And in between meals, you can swing by to grab a quick bite—think cereal, fruit, and pastries. Kosher, halal, vegan, and vegetarian options are available, as well as more traditional college fare and a wide variety of global cuisines. Students can even submit recipes from home!

A way to meet friends and make moves. More than 180 to choose from. Including: Cultural orgs, College Government, a cappella groups, theatre and dance companies, consultancies, leadership labs, fan clubs, and societies.

A room of all red. Also: A student-run pub in the Lulu Chow Wang Campus Center. Known for: Good pours and fun parties, like: Bollywood Night, Disco Night, and Amp Up the Camp.

Governing—really governing—since 1901. The hard stuff, like administering the honor code and overseeing the judiciary system for student misconduct. And the fun stuff, like funding Wellesley’s 180+ student orgs.
