<p>Thanks so much for the reply. It is very reassuring to know that someone was able to make the transition from a city to a small town. I too did not pick MH for its location but rather for its academics. I went to an admitted student day at Smith and many of the students kept mentioning how much better their location is in comparison to MH. Sure, Northampton is much more lively but I found the people at MH to be so much more diverse and interesting.</p>
<p>I felt like at most of my urban or suburban schools (BU, Brandeis, George Washington) it would be difficult to focus (but that’s just me). I actually almost went to Bates which is waaay more isolated than MH. :)</p>
<p>I only mentioned Boston because I have a lot of family there which I guess would make it easier (at least cost wise).</p>
<p>Thanks again for your reply. I loved everything about MH when I visited (minus the women’s college aspect but I’m getting over that). All of the students were so friendly and seemed genuinely excited about the school. I can’t wait! :)</p>
