Admission Tour Guide
Why MHC: "Mount Holyoke College is unique. No where else will you find professors who want to teach you, but also get to know you. No where else will you find a classroom where every other student is from the foreign country about which you may be researching or studying. No where else will you find a professor who approaches you with an internship they find perfect for YOU! The personal connection and sense of community that MHC has to offer are quite special. I have made powerful connections with friends, professors, and alumnae only within my first year. The opportunities at Mount Holyoke are endless-- this summer I am interning in France and then DC! Being here I am a free-thinking, confident woman ready to take on the world. Why would I be anywhere else than Mount Holyoke?"
