Mount Holyoke is a great school with great facilities. There is also a great 5 College consortium that allows you to further expand your depth of knowledge and connections with students/professors in your field. The small class sizes give students a greater opportunity to engage professors and try your hand at holding a discussion. There are many opportunities on-campus and off-campus to seek help in writing, public speaking, critical analysis etc. The work is tough but so rewarding!

    Mount Holyoke College is an accepting, liberal small college. Everyone is friendly and the classes are challenging (but not too challenging). It is very easy to feel apart of the sisterhood and immersed in campus life.

    It is an academically challenging school. However it provides students with every opportunity to succeed giving them outstanding opportunities that they would not have received otherwise. They also have an incredible equestrian team that is both competitive and gives students a nice balance to the heavy academics.

    Mount Holyoke has a large international student population which is very present in classes and around campus. The college has a great amount of resources at its disposal, whether through the very active alumnae network or the area, including colleges nearby. The Five College Consortium can be very useful to all students who want to participate in clubs, sports, classes, and more which their own school may not necessarily have, though of course the consortium it has its limits.

    This is a women's college, not a girls' school. Mount Holyoke offers a warm, accepting, and diverse community; when you walk across campus, you're almost guarantee to overhear someone speaking in another language -- but although it's diverse, it is also very inclusive and accepting. The classes are academically challenging, but you have all the resources to succeed if you're willing to work for it.

    Mount Holyoke is a beautiful place to grow as an independent woman. Not only are the professors the best trained in their field of study, but they are also genuinely dedicated to teaching YOU as their student. The community here is amazing, there is always someone who is working to better the world in some way, and there are always opportunities to get involved.
