Why MHC: "The reasons I chose MHC are probably too many to list, but I'll name the top reasons. I loved the campus after my first visit the atmosphere at the College just felt right. I love the small size of the student body and the low faculty to student ratio. I knew I would receive a world class education from Mount Holyoke and be well suited for the "real-world" immediately upon graduation."Class year: 2011
