You can’t go wrong with either school. My D is a first year at MHC and couldn’t be more happy. She applied to both Smith and MHC but now cannot see herself anywhere but at MHC. The course work is challenging
and she spends a lot of time reading and writing papers, but still find time to go to Amherst College, Northampton, and hang out with friends. In just a few short weeks she has made friends with young women from all over the US and the World and developed a wonderful support group. Her professors have been helpful, easy to talk to and motivating. I do think, as others have said, that you must do an overnight, that is when you will get better handle on which college maybe the best fit for you. Either way you can’t go wrong, both are great schools!
