<p>Actually, Wants2Thrive, you brought up the word eccentric in your first post. My daughter responded: 'Mount Holyoke is a diverse community…It is perhaps the diversity of the student body that leaves some people to see the eccentricities on campus."</p>
<p>She went on to say: “The beauty of the school is that it promotes mutual respect though the various types of diversity that everyone brings to campus.”</p>
<p>Think about that statement. At this point in your life, do you think you are mature enough for an esteemed institution such as Mount Holyoke? Seems to me both your mind and soul need education and maturing before you are ready for any liberal arts education. Again, I suggest that you take a gap year. Work in the real world, with real people. Do some soul searching. You might just find that that Lexus you drive doesn’t make you any better or more intelligent than anyone else.</p>
<p>Mount Holyoke is a wonderful institution. It provides a fantastic education. I couldn’t be more proud that my daughter is a graduate of Mount Holyoke College.</p>
