<p>My daughter lived in Torrey her first year and Safford the second. She’ll be in Pearsons next year. She felt that Torrey was great for first years because it was large (as it goes at MHC) and so there were more students to meet easily. It also has an elevator and hot breakfast service…which are nice. She absolutely adored Safford and loved being on the green. (Safford will be off line for much needed renovations next semester.) She was thrilled to draw Pearsons, with it’s location so close to the library, where she loves to work.</p>
<p>As far as I know, none of the dorms have air conditioning. </p>
<p>Here’s an interesting article written in advance of the new dorm being built: <a href=“http://www.alumnae.mtholyoke.edu/quarterly/fall06/dorm.pdf[/url]”>http://www.alumnae.mtholyoke.edu/quarterly/fall06/dorm.pdf</a></p>
<p>Above all, remember that you may not get one of your “choice” dorms your first year (my daughter didn’t)…but it’s the people you meet that count…not the building!</p>
