Getting ready for moving in and my first day at Wellesley!!Wellesley College Dorm Room Tour
Here's a glimpse of what a room in the "new dorms" on east side look like. My first year i lived in Freeman hall, one of the halls with the bigger doubles along with McAfee and Bates Hall. Freeman is attached to Bates dining hall which makes it very easy to get food at any time the hall is open without having to take a step outside. Take a peek into my room!
