Elspeth H.

Tour Guide at Mount Holyoke College

Class of 2026

Hometown: Portland, ME

Major: Sociology

Minor: History


My advice to prospective students is...

Everything will work out! Try your best but don't feel like you need to know everything right now.

My favorite MHC tradition is...

Dirty Dancing

I chose Mount Holyoke College because...

I saw myself living in the community. I find the atmosphere to be very supportive-- everybody truly cares about their education without competing over workload and grades with peers.

My favorite class is...

History of Money. This was a niche history topic that I didn't know a lot about and we got to work a lot with actual ancient and modern coinage and paper money through the museum! It was overall just very cool and insightful.

I'm passionate about...

Italian Writing and Reading sports/being active

I'm involved with...

Ultimate Frisbee Student Newspaper Ballet
