Questions about Mt. Holyoke from a prospective student.

Because the community is so small, we are somewhat forced into cliques. Some cliques, of course, are bigger than others. People socialize with others who are similar to themselves. Sports team members will talk to other sports team members, for example. People in singing groups will hang out with other people in singing groups. The cliques sometimes form by major, too, but I feel like the cliques formed within a major are somewhat forced and do not directly correlate with the friendships that take place out of class.

I met several people when I did my “Experience MHC” visit and I still talk to them. Two of them are in my group of close friends now. Unfortunately, Experience MHC is changing this year and prospective students won’t get the opportunity to network with other students like I did.

I cannot explain it any better, unfortunately. You should be getting your acceptance letter soon. In addition, you will get access to certain videos with members from the Mt. Holyoke community welcoming you to campus.

If you have any more questions, please let me know.
