“Studying abroad was a life-changing experience. Mount Holyoke gave me the skills necessary to withstand the challenging academics at University of Oxford.”
“I don’t know if I would have had the chance or felt supported or empowered enough to do this had I not been here. I’m so incredibly grateful.”
“I’ve met amazing people that I still look to for friendship, and I’ve also met younger underclassmen whom I feel would definitely do an amazing job of taking over and continuing the legacy.”
“Through the classes I’ve taken, I have a much better sense of what I’m interested in and what I want to do with the future. The professors ... are really there to make sure that you understand all of this material.”
“It was both the school’s physical environment and beautiful campus and the community environment [that attracted me to Mount Holyoke].”
“I really appreciate that [the MHC Semester in D.C] program provided a new way for me to view international relations and public policy.”
“International relations is a subset of political science. I’ve had professors introduce me to things I didn’t even know existed. I was able to learn about all different aspects of politics, and that was incredibly helpful.”
“I thankfully got to tour, and I instantly felt connected. I could see just how genuine students felt about their education here.”
“I definitely want to stay connected with art, and that’s ultimately where I would love my career to go — working with a museum or within the art field.”
