<p>I’ve never thought of Wellesley as a big service school. My sister graduated from the College of the Holy Cross in 2006 (#63) and if you had to ask me which school had more people doing comminity service, I would tell you hers. I’ve never been much of a service person, and I see Wellesley as a school where people are focused on their classes.
On the other hand, I agree completely with Ringer’s comments. When I actually think about service on campus, I remember how much does happen. One of my roommates last year was in charge of ASB (Alternative Spring Break)! The other did WOW her first year, and we were both in Girl Scouts together. In addition there’s BASIC, a Habitat group, Day to Make a Difference and there have been collections for hurricane Katrina. Tons of students went campaigning (for John Kerry) in NH in 2004. And then there’s Sisters Keepers (for which there will be another rummage sale in the fall)</p>
