Hi! Reading your response, 0you seemed like you really enjoyed MHC. And and you were accepted into Vassar and Barnard (my top two schools) but you chose MHC so I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions. Do you feel the social scene at MHC is lacking because of its location?How difficult is it to meet guys? I heard that some guys do take classes at MHC, but they must be jumped on by all the girls, right? Is it hard to take classes at Hampshire, Amherst or UMass? What made you choose MHC over the other schools you were accepted into (particularly Barnard and Vassar)?Is there anything you particularly love about MHC?Anything you really dislike?Are the sciences particularly strong at MHC?Thanks a lot for your help. I really really apreciate it! |

Also, how would you describe the typical student at MHC? I'm just trying to see if I would fit in… |

i love it here. after a semester, i can honestly say there is no where i'd rather be. the women here i've met are amazing, and as corny as it sounds, i know i've made friends for life. the faculty has been truly supportive and i've learned more in this one semester than i have in my entire life. plus, the campus is GORGEOUS. a women's school isn't for everyone, but honestly, i wasn't looking for a women's school in the first place. I applied to and was accepted to a lot of other schools (vassar, bates, oberlin, midd, conn college, kenyon, smith, wellesly, barnard, colby) but once i visited, i realized that this is where i would be the most at home. people here are open minded but not "militantly p.c." there's the stereo-type that we're all lesbians- NOT TRUE- but we'll love, support and accept you if you are. we're not even all democrats (gasp.. but i am. go dean!) all this diversity makes for amazing conversations in dorms, dining halls, classes, etc. if you want to come hang out with a bunch of intelligent, funny, unique women; come on down! hmm. downsides… south hadley is a SMALL town. but theres enough, plus, there's free transportation to the surrounding towns of northampton and amherst. the five college consortium is a huge plus.
