Meet the class of 2022
“The College doesn’t teach you how to think; [it] give[s] you the resources to think on your own.”
“Every time I make a connection with someone because of Mount Holyoke or stand up for myself, I just think, ‘Yeah, that is where I was supposed to go.’”
“I’ve learned to never count myself out. Other people will look at you and dismiss you, but I’ve learned to use that as drive.“
“I definitely feel the warmth of the Mount Holyoke community while I am on campus, but I found it to be a [real] source of strength during my time abroad.
“[Mount Holyoke has] given me the time and space to grow so that I’m much more secure in how I’m going into the world.”
“When I finally saw my dorm in real life, stood outside and looked around, I was happy — incredibly happy.”
“[Mount Holyoke has] pushed me to demand justice for others, and they’ve shown me what true advocacy for other communities looks like.”
“[Mount Holyoke has] given me the confidence and space to explore myself in a way I haven’t been able to before.”
“I like the holistic approach MHC takes to learning. It’s not just about memorizing things but understanding how a concept we’re learning is relevant.”
“Mount Holyoke taught me a lot about how important it is to listen to and work with others.”
“It has been really uplifting to have so much support for nontraditional opportunities & carving my own path back into the dance world through academics.”
“It was amazing coming to campus and having an immediate group of people that you could be friends with and people to show you around.”
“In my four years at MHC, I’ve found joy in every corner of campus as professors, students and staff share in the excitement of learning in community.”
“My time at Mount Holyoke allowed me to gain the confidence that I feel has always been deep within me.”
“I want students to know that Mount Holyoke offers so much for students, and they can make the most of their experience here.”
