Lived here as a first-year and sophomore!
The location has easy access to the science center and the town of Wellesley. Also connected to Bates dining hall, very useful when the weather isn't nice and don't want to go outside to eat. And perfect if you work in the dining hall (student dining hall worker here)!
Never had issues with noise! And the bathrooms were mostly clean! Washers on every floor (plus the basement) were a blessing, especially during busy weekends!
