<p>It’s hard to know what your social experience will be. I went to Wellesley in the 80s and had a boyfriend at MIT. I’m pretty introverted. My D has not had a similar experience (she is also abroad this year, like MaidenMom’s D). </p>
<p>My D got involved in a club sport that has really made a difference for her on-campus social life. She is much more involved in campus life than I was. In some ways her weekday experience is better than mine was. I also went abroad junior year, and that effectively destroyed the relationship with the boyfriend, although I don’t regret that decision in the least.</p>
<p>It’s hard to have a conventional college experience at Wellesley. That’s not what it offers. So you have to know yourself.</p>
