I attended Mount Holyoke for one year before transferring. I would just like to inform people that this school was by far the worst college in so many ways. As a science student, I expected to be challenged and grow in a all women's envionment, but this was not the case. Compared to where I am now, this school is not challenging! I actually felt my high school had more challenging classes with better teachers! Being on the outside now looking back, I can fully see that this school is not that academic at all. It is also way too small, and no research here at all either. The friend scene was also bad, unless you are a liberal lesbian or Asian. Thank god I left.

Do not go here! This school has THE WORST administrative departments EVER! They are completely unhelpful. Also, everyone who goes here thinks they are at some amazing school. News flash, this place is so small there are hardly any resources. Most kids I know who graduate here don't go on to have successfull careers. Also, if your not a lesbian or foreign you will have no friends. The surrounding area has nothing for you to do, which is why mst girls just end up making out with eachother. All in all, this school is the worst place ever. DO NOT GO HERE.

This is school is THE WORST college you could ever go to. Firstly, the small choice of classes makes it almost impossible to fulfill major requirements while trying to fulfill the liberal arts requirements. To make matters even worse, I had numerously been locked out of the system upon signing up for classes, and wasn't able to get into anything even though it wasn't my fault. Upon approaching the dean, she literally told me "I like to give my students a hard time," and nothing was done. I know some other friends wo have also had trouble getting into classes, and the deans also didn't help them one bit, even though it was the college's mistake. Secondly, the dorming situation is terrible. You're forced to dorm with someone, even if they are suicidal, like one of my roomates. The school responded to that by telling me to just call public safety if she starts killing herself. Great, im not a trained professional. She finally was hospitalized near the end of the year. Thirdly, the social life is terrible. The girl's here are the definition of strange and most of them have social problems. The closest town to drive to is at least twenty minutes away. Please don't even consider going here unless you want problems in your life. Overall, I only hear about people wanting to transfer, and I myself can't wait to get out of here. Angels will be singing in my ear.
