“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] truly made me feel like I was part of the community.
“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.”
“It has been really uplifting to have so much support for nontraditional opportunities and carving my own path back into the dance world through academics.”
“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 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.”
“I feel like my time at Mount Holyoke gave me the ability to gain the confidence that I feel was deep within me.”
“The College doesn’t teach you how to think; [it] give[s] you the resources to think on your own.”
