It is almost impossible not to be inundated with knowledge at Mount Holyoke. The class sizes are small and the professors are top notch. They are always willing to explain topics in depth and meet with students outside of class. Mount Holyoke also offers an incredibly diverse range of classes which allows everyone to find something they are interested in and explore many areas students may not have been exposed to before. Plus, even if you feel there is a little something missing, there are four other colleges where you can take classes at no extra cost!
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Mount Holyoke campus is absolutely stunning, with beautiful landscaping and architecture. Don't let its old style look fool you though, the campus is very eco-friendly and technologically advanced. Everyone on campus, from the students, to the cooks, to the janitors, to the professors, is friendly. At Mount Holyoke, or MoHome as we like to call it, you feel right at home.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
With small class sizes and great professors (and great food) Mount Holyoke really is worth the money. If that's not enough though, Mount Holyoke is one member of a 5 college consortium. What this means for the students is that instead of just having one college, with all of it's resources and classes, they have 5. Students within the consortium can attend classes at any of the other 4 colleges at no extra cost!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
While it is an incredible place to be, Mount Holyoke is very academically challenging. Be prepared to have your mind expanded, but keep in mind how challenging it is so that you don't spread yourself too thin. Even if you are valedictorian of your class, make sure that you balance your course load, or at least attempt to. This will give you the best chance for success.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Mount Holyoke is really great for students who want a small town feel, but would still like to be able to go off campus and have fun. Prospective students should be very academically dedicated and prepared to face day to day life with very little male interaction and open to a mostly liberal campus.
