“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.”
“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.“
“Mount Holyoke has been exceptionally good at fostering my voice.”
“[Mount Holyoke has] given me the confidence and space to explore myself in a way I haven’t been able to before.”
“Working in a lab has been a great opportunity. Not only have I made friends who have similar academic interests as I do, but working in the lab shows employers that I’m able to come up with my own research project. To have the experience on my resume shows that I can do that work and lead a research project on my own.”
“Knowing yourself is the biggest thing.”
When I finally saw my dorm in real life, stood outside and looked around, I was happy — incredibly happy.
