Mount Holyoke College is one of the top 389 colleges in the country for 2024, according to The Princeton Review. Mount Holyoke was ranked among the top 20 colleges and universities in categories for academics, extracurricular activities and alum resources.

Mount Holyoke ranked #2 for “Most Politically Active Students,” #4 for “Best College Library” and #6 for “Professors Get High Marks” as well as #6 among private schools for “Best School for Making an Impact.”

The College was also ranked #7 for “Most Beautiful Campus” and, among private schools, #10 for “Best Alumni Networks.”

“I am thrilled to see Mount Holyoke College recognized for our passionate and engaged student body, our committed faculty and academic resources, as well as our incredible campus,” said President Danielle R. Holley. “These rankings highlight how our collaborative community supports students as they develop skills to solve challenges everywhere.”

“At Mount Holyoke,” Holley continued, “our students build bonds — across disciplines and among people — to break through barriers and make change for all.”

“We created our rankings to provide a resource for college applicants that helps them answer what may well be the toughest question in their college search — ‘What’s the best school for me?’” said Rob Franek, editor-in-chief of The Princeton Review and lead author of “The Best 389 Colleges.”

“Our selection of colleges for this book reflects our high opinion of the schools: we recommend each one as academically outstanding,” Franke said. “Our ranking lists reflect the opinions of the school’s students and their reports to us about their campus experiences.”
