I’m going to declare my major as English next year at MHC, and I can tell you that we have a FABULOUS English department here. Many of the teachers are frequently published in the New York Times/are well-respected authors (not that this is nearly as important as their teaching ability, which is stellar). This is true of all of the professors I’ve had here, but they really do care about your life and success in college. I can end up chatting with any one of them long after class ends. This is probably true at Wellesley and Smith as well, but there is a sense of warmth here that I found very unique (which is why I ended up choosing MH over Smith). Feel free to ask any more questions if you have them!
