<p>Forgot to comment on the “social scene” at Wes.</p>
<p>I can report that my daughter was a bit “out of her element” in the dorm she was assigned to, the “jock dorm” known as Bennet Hall. As it turns out, there is a prevalent party scene in that dorm starting late in the week, which means she sometimes takes a trip to the library or to the quiet study spaces in the dorm to get her work done. She’s made friends with students in another freshman dorm (Butterfield), and loves her roommate. With 200 clubs, it seems to me it should be possible for her to find sufficient opportunities to socialize. At the moment, she’s doing a lot of studying, and is kind of easing her way into the social scenes at Wes (there a many/varied social scenes, actually … check out a student blog called “Wesleying”) as she gets used to the place. </p>
<p>Our daughter has several good friends already, and overall she really likes it at Wes.</p>
