During Orientation for first-year students, incoming WOCS are invited to stay in a dorm and meet their Big Sisters. The Advisor for WOCS has an office in Schneider Link and is available to answer questions, discuss problems and advocate on behalf of the students. Wellesley College does not cash checks for students. There is a Fleet ATM machine on campus which is part of the nationwide Cirrus network. All Wellesley students may apply at Fleet for a free savings account with ATM access for cashing checks.
Students are, therefore, urged to arrive with travelers checks.
Postal money orders may be cashed at the town of Wellesley Post Office. The College Post Office will cash postal money orders for small amounts as its funds allow. There are fees for Fleet checking unless the student has payroll checks deposited directly to her account. If students prefer, there are several other banks in the town of Wellesley with various types of checking services. Bank representatives will be available at Schneider Center during Orientation.
