To schedule an overnight, please contact admission.

What happens during an overnight visit?
On the day of your visit, you’ll meet a student adviser in the Office of Admission at 4 pm.  She’ll escort you to your assigned residence hall, where you’ll connect with your student host and meet other students so you’ll get multiple perspectives on life at MHC.  You’ll have dinner and breakfast with your host in the residence hall. A classroom visit may also be arranged if you wish.

What do I need to bring?
Please bring:

• a pillow
• a sleeping bag
• a towel
• toiletries

We also encourage you to bring homework or a book because your host will likely have some studying to do during the course of your visit.

What about family and others traveling with me?
For parents or others traveling with prospective students, the Willits-Hallowell Center is Mount Holyoke’s on-campus hotel and conference center.  Space is limited so please reserve your room as early as possible. There are alternative accommodations and restaurants in the area as well.
