<p>To refute 2 points made in the post above:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>location out of touch with the real world. I had thought about this too, but then I kept hearing things like Stabbing in the Boston Commons (happened yesterday), emails sent to many Harvard Asian female students threatening shooting (happened a couple weeks ago, this is particularly scary because I myself identify as an Asian female), and Boston bombing (a couple years ago). Some students are unhappy with the location, but I just want to make it clear that a SAFE environment is not so easy to find in a city, even it’s a fabulous city like Boston. I personally appreciate the safety provided by a suburban town like Wellesley, and I know many of my friends do too.</p></li>
<li><p>Few parties on campus. I know that the nights when “parties” were thrown by orgs, we had to lock our doors. Wall decors in our res hall was even rudely destroyed by a drunk male guest. Many of us chose to come here because we appreciate a safe and comfortable environment uninterrupted by the noise and anxiety caused by wild and constant party scenes. If you really want that party, there are A THOUSAND parties in Boston city every weekend, suit thyself.</p></li>
