Linens and Laundry Service

Some choose to order residence hall room-ready sheets and towels at a discounted rate through Residence Hall Linens, which offers special rates for Wellesley families. To view their offers or to place an order for linens.

Some Wellesley students opt for a laundry and dry-cleaning contract during the school year. E&R Campus Laundry is a local company that provides on-campus services.

Dressing for the Weather

You'll need clothing appropriate for the New England climate, although it may not be necessary to bring it all with you during Orientation week. It's likely to be very warm when you first arrive in August and very cold during finals week in December. Consider packing winter clothes in a box that can be mailed to you when the weather turns colder. Expect to need a winter coat, boots, hats, and gloves during the winter season.

Remember: "There's no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing!"

Contact and Emergency Info

All students must provide contact and student directory information to receive room keys and activate their One-Card. Prior to arriving on campus, you must update information in your Workday including your cell phone number, parent(s)’ contact information, and additional emergency contact information.
