<p>Sorry; that was a little confusing. Davis scholars’ class years are dependent on how many credits they are coming in with and have completed at any one point in time. So while new Davis Scholars last school year and myself were entering Wellesley at the same time, a given Davis Scholar might really be have Sophomore or Junior status instead of first year status like me. And because commuting Davis Scholars do not have to complete the same number of courses as traditional students, it is possible that a they might not make a year’s worth of progress every year (for example, a commuting Davis Scholar may take only 2 courses a semester, so after one school year they would really only have made the equivalent of 1/8 progress on their degree, instead of the traditional 1/4 progress). Davis Scholar are not listed as “Class of 2011” but as “Sophomore Davis Scholar” (or whatever). Because of this small quirk, and the nature of Davis Scholars in general, I am not quite sure how Davis Scholars are counted with regards to parking but I would guess that all Davis Scholars would be allowed to keep a car on campus. Especially because it appears that Davis Scholars are very likely to come into Wellesley with college credits and thus really wouldn’t be considered First Years anyways. </p>
<p>It says that housing office will mail rooming assignments to new Davis Scholars in early August (and will not give out such information over the phone).</p>
<p>EDIT: A quick perusal of the college directory suggests to me that there are no “First-Year” Davis Scholars, so I would guess that the whole parking thing is moot. Would be easier if they addressed it directly, though!</p>
