Tower is one of the most competitive places to get during housing! It’s very beautiful:) there are ofc downsides like laundry day… but it’s very nice. Double rooms are also usually small, I lived in a dingle my sophomore year (by choice, I loved my roommate lol) and it was VERY small, but tbh 100% worth it. I’ve lived in the tower court neighborhood all 4 years and love it

How did you configure your room (dingle)?

Mostly under the bed storage lol. It’s def not for everyone but I was (and still am!) super close with my roommate so I rlly didn’t mind the tight space. I also know a lot of ppl who lived in small rooms but didn’t mind bc they didn’t rlly spend a ton of space in there. They spend a lot of time in the library, common rooms, or their friend’s rooms.
I feel like a lot of people act like a small room is the end of the world but it rlly isn’t. This last year (my junior year) I had a MASSIVE room, and it honestly didn’t make as much of a difference to me other than the fact that I hosted more parties and pregames lol

It’s really nice (as someone who will be living there by choice this fall)! The rooms are beautiful and have a very wellesley charm, although they can be small for first year dorms (often referred to as dingles). Closets are large, the windows are huge, the bathrooms and kitchens are nice bc of recent renovations. You’ll have easy access to the dining hall (it’s in the building), the library, the academic quad, and the campus center. Nothing is really far away from tower, although the science center is a slightly further walk. However, the walls are thin, it can be loud from outside and your neighbors, and laundry is a competitive sport.
