The MHC vibe?

I am a current Mount Holyoke student and I completely agree with frazzledmaybe. Mount Holyoke really is what you make of it. Some people LOVE it, and I have a lot of friends who HATE it. It depends on the person, I suppose. I meet guys every weekend at parties on campus here and at Amherst and UMass, and I attend a lot of great lectures and symposiums on campus on the weekdays that really broaden my mind.

I’ve learned so much since coming here, and because Mount Holyoke is so politically and socially active, I’ve found myself becoming increasingly aware of the world around me as well.

Also, I’ve honestly never seen this many lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered people in one area in my LIFE but it’s no big deal. People are generally very friendly here and it’s nice to see so many different women.

But of course, there will always be certain people who are constantly shuttling to Amherst in search of men, and they’re the reason why when we go out, we go out with a certain “slut stigma” attached. People think girls at Mount Holyoke are easy whores so sometimes it’s hard to trust people or meet a decent guy, but that’s not to say it’s impossible, of course.

It’s just up to you (=
