living at wellesley college

Living on the campus of Wellesley College is not only a lot of fun, but it is also a great learning experience. For many students, Explo is their first time living with a roommate, the first time they do laundry on their own, or the first time they've had so much choice about how they spend their day. And while you'll learn what it's like to live away from home, you won't be on your own. Your RAs or DAs, the staff members who lead your living or day group, will be with you every step of the way, making sure you're comfortable, safe, and happy — and that you are making the most of your time at Explo.

In your living or day group, you'll find new friends from around the world or down the street. As you become involved in your classes and activities, you'll meet even more people who share your interests. What you will find at the Intermediate Program is a community of staff and students who will encourage you to try new things, experience new ideas, ask questions, and search for answers.

the living group
As a residential student, you will be placed with a roommate based on your answers to a roommate preference form. Your new roommate could be from New York, California, France, Japan, or many other states and countries. You and your roommate will be part of a living group with approximately 16-18 other students. Each living group is led by two Residential Advisors who live on your floor and check in with you formally and informally throughout the day, keeping you aware of all events and activities. You and your living group will get to know each other well — many students make life-long friends in their living groups.
