Wellesley College is a private, women's, liberal-arts college in the town of Wellesley, Massachusetts, United States, west of Boston. Founded in 1870, Wellesley is a member of the original Seven Sisters Colleges.
Wellesley is the highest ranking women's college in the U.S., and one of the top liberal arts colleges, ranking 4th by U.S. News & World Report. The school is also the highest endowed women's college. For the 2014–15 year admissions cycle, Wellesley admitted 29% of its applicants.
The college is known for allowing its students to cross-register at MIT, Babson, Brandeis, and Olin College. Notable alumni include Hillary Clinton, Madeleine Albright, Soong Mei-ling, Cokie Roberts, and Diane Sawyer.
Wellesley was founded by Pauline and Henry Fowle Durant, believers in educational opportunity for women. Wellesley was founded with the intention to prepare women for "...great conflicts, for vast reforms in social life." Its charter was signed on March 17, 1870, by Massachusetts Governor William Claflin. The original name of the college was the Wellesley Female Seminary; its renaming to Wellesley College was approved by the Massachusetts legislature on March 7, 1873. Wellesley first opened its doors to students on September 8, 1875.

Edae, short for Ewha Women's University, is my to-go hangout place, mainly because my best friend goes there. Restaurants here are a bit cheaper than most places in Seoul (I wish town of Wellesley was also this college friendly). I find shopping at Edae much better than Hongdae. I am a sucker for bargaining but most of the owners here will give you a discount, so don't be shy and ask! I think I've said the word "kimbab" at least 20 times in this video haha.
