I’m sorry everyone!! I’ve been so distracted ever since Wellesley accepted me by some miracle. Let me start with this:
The last time I visited Mount Holyoke, it was on a VERY beautiful day. The sun was out, it was really warm, yadayada. This time, on the other hand, it was cold and windy (pretty awful) but nonetheless, Holyoke was beautiful as always. Our tour guide told us that you can circle the campus in 20 minutes by walking.
The campus was very clean- no garbage, weeds, buildings (at least appeared to be) in perfect condition. This applied to the insides as well. There were not many people walking around even though classes were in session that day. It was very quiet.
As for the dorms, I’m sorry, but we weren’t allowed to actually see one because our guide’s room was being remodeled. From what she told us (and what I was told on my last tour, which I hope is reliable) it seems that MHC dorms are always larger on average than most colleges. Although you’re not allowed to have air-conditioners, I was told on my LAST tour (again, I hope I remember this right) that the beds are normal twins, and not XLs. Also, it’s not unreasonable to expect a single in your junior/senior year. Some residence halls have cafeterias and small kitchens - you are not restricted to your hall’s kitchen, so students can just go to any one they like.
They also have Cookies and Milk in residence halls! That made me really happy (lol).
