I chose Mount Holyoke College because...

There are so many alums that I want to be like. I knew many Mount Holyoke alums who were wonderful and told me that they developed so many leadership skills and grew in confidence. At the time, I didn't think community was that important to me, but now that I am a student, it has shaped my entire experience. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else.

My advice to prospective students is...

My advice to students is that the best way to put a good foot forward in your application is to truly show the admission staff who you are and how you would be a valuable asset to the community. Do not feel discouraged; everything will work out the way it is supposed to. Take care of your mental health!

My favorite class is...

Macroeconomics, Black Feminist Thought, Education Policy, Society and Organizations

My favorite MHC tradition is...

Gracious Dinner is a surprise fancy dinner in the dining hall. There are three each year, and I always feel that they are placed at the perfect times throughout the year. I love this tradition so much because it is a perfect opportunity to eat a really good meal with all of your friends.
