<p>Obviously very different schools, I’m just curious to know which one is more well-regarded by the general public? I’ve asked a few people and gotten opposing answers. Thanks for any help!</p>
<p>Please don’t pick a college on the basis of the “general public’s” view. The “general public” doesn’t know anything about the relative reputations of colleges. They only know Harvard, their own state U , and whatever school is doing well in televised sports.</p>
<p>The answer to your question will depend on the student’s goals. If you want a practical, vocationally oriented education, Northeastern is great with its emphasis on co-ops. If you want a liberal arts education, Mount Holyoke is wonderful.</p>
<p>Mount Holyoke arguably carries more prestige, I think, among people in academe and the professions. But it depends on what the student wants out of college.</p>
<p>I probably should have made it clearer… I was thinking more along the lines of employers any vet schools.</p>
<p>I think there’s a lot to be said for MHC’s alumnae network as regards employers (there’s a database to match Mohos and opportunities provided by alumna through the career services office, as I understand). However, I think you could probably do equally well at either for vet school so long as you pursue a relevant course of academic studies and work with animals. </p>

<p>MHC allows you access to the five colleges consortium and you can take courses at UMASS and Amherst (Smith etc) I would opt to go there.</p>
