i really can't think of anything that i would complain about. the Moho community is amazing, accepting, diverse, and caring.
Overall 4.8
Very safe on campus! The location may be pretty far and boring here but at least you have bus to go to Amherst or Northampton. Near to Boston (2.5 hours to Logan Int. Airport), Hartford, and 3 hours by Amtrak to get to NYC. Great experience staying here for me. However, homework is quite very much, but still can handle. Never regret choosing MHC.

fascinating learning environment with great career and internship opportunities
Overall 4.7
MoHome is an amazing place where people would not want to leave after they've entered. The campus is amazingly beautiful with well-facilitated buildings and nice dorms. ALL the professors are caring for each student, in which everyone works very hard. Safety would be the last problem ever in MoHo. Food is great, library is great, and life is great.

Overall 4.6
Some of the most genuine, kind, and motivated students and professors I have ever met. Mount Holyoke has such an uplifting and empowering environment in addition to our beautiful campus. There are also many academic, career development, and social opportunities (Lynk funding, MHConnect internships, campus research, five college classes and parties)

If you're thinking of going here, think again. It's very much one way of thinking, acting, etc. and you dare not do anything else or you will quite lonely.
