My advice to prospective students is...

listen to your gut. Also, everything is going to work out. It can feel like there is so much pressure to have everything figured out and to make the "right" choice but really there is no one right choice and no matter where you end up you are going to do amazing.

My favorite class is...

Rocks and minerals. I learned a lot from this class and it was challenging in a rewarding way. This class had both a lab and lecture component and in the labs we looked at samples of different rocks and minerals and there were so many pretty samples! We also went on a couple of fun field trips and learned about the local geology in the valley.

My favorite MHC tradition is...

I love Mountain Day! Something about the anticipation of not knowing what day it will be makes this tradition so exciting. It's fun having a break from classes that day and I love hiking the mountain with friends, enjoying ice cream, and taking fun photos together at the top.

I chose Mount Holyoke College because...

I realized I wanted to go to a gender diverse womens college (although initially that was not my plan!). I fell in love with Mount Holyoke's welcoming environment and supportive community. I was drawn to the wide array of traditions and the beautiful campus.
