Ashley:
“A lot of people ask me about what it’s like to be on an all-women’s campus. You know, there’s some kind of fear around being on an all-women’s campus, which I haven’t actually been able to understand…I just want people to know that this is a campus where you can step on and feel like family right away. People will lend you their hand without question and they’ll take you to some incredible places and experiences that you could never have anywhere else because of the all-women’s campus. And I think that it’s something that I never really took into consideration when I thought about Mount Holyoke, but if I ever had to do it again, it would be no question, it would be automatic.”
