I managed to find some time to take more photos of Wellesley. However, due to my poor photographic skills, the pictures are not as beautiful as what I have seen. As the buildings are generally hidden behind the trees, the camera is focusing on the trees instead of the buildings.
So here are some of the photos:
Beebe Hall
This is where I live. The building has been here since 1908, but it is better than a place called Raffles Institution Boarding School. This dorm has a pirate culture, because Captain Beebe is believed to be a pirate. At the entrance, there's a black flag showing something like the picture below with words "commitment to excellence" on it. Inside the dorm, there are lots of pictures of bones and crosses, as well as toy ships. At meetings and other events, people dress up like pirates. Some people event talk like pirates (naturally).
Not to forget, there's really a GRAND PIANO in the dorm. (I have seen lots of grand pianos in different dorms.) But please, that's not the main reason for me to choose Wellesley (though I've been giving you this answer when you ask me why).
This is just little lane leading to the entrance of the college. I love this type of lanes a lot.
This is part of the college entrance.

somewhere nice
This is the most famous building, I guess. If you've watched Mona Lisa's Smile (which is a boring movie that doesn't reflect anything about Wellesley College), this probably looks familar.
I have not taken any pictures on the lake yet. But the lake is really the most beautiful and peaceful place in the campus. Yesterday morning, I went beside the lake and finished the book
Feynman's Rainbow. It's a very fascinating book featuring the interaction between Feynman and a new faculty member at Caltech in the early 1980s. When I was reading the book, there were leaves dropping beside me; sometimes squirrels passed by through the branches above, dropping little fruits right in front of me. I've never felt that I can be so close to the nature.
I shall try to find some time to walk around the lake one day:)
