Reviews Mount Holyoke College (College) in Vermont

Elizabeth Vansevicius

My daughter Laura just graduated yesterday from this excellent school. She had a great education with excellent teachers who cared. I had the pleasure of meeting a few at graduation. My experience with staff in financial office or other offices , with whom I had to interact on the phone or in person, was a good one; they were helpful, polite and very professional. The dorms are clean, and the campus is gorgeous . A very important factor is that my daughter felt safe on campus. If you are looking to get away from the high energy of a big city this is the place for you, otherwise, you may find it to be too quiet an environment. I loved visiting my daughter because of the quiet, the birds, Jorge the goose, and Willets-Hallowell Center . When visiting, parents will eat well at 101 restaurant in South Hadley and at Monkey Bar in Amherst.

An amazing college experience. There is loads of room for creativity and inter-disciplinary studies. I loved my college experience there and highly recommend it to new applicants.

Mount Holyoke College is an all women's college in the Pioneer Valley. The campus is lovely with trees, rolling hills, lush lawns and beautiful architecture. I was there to pick up my daughter who is taking a course on campus this semester. The people are friendly and the atmosphere is great.

TERRIBLE STAFF. I live in town and was also student here. Fast forward to today and I pay for a membership at the sports complex, strictly for usage of MHC affiliates. Anyways i forgot my One Card and when i asked if the woman working at the information desk if she could look up my card for me she snapped asking "and why is that" basically just treating me completely disrespectful. She basically yelled at me saying i was trying to sneak in and there was no way they could confirm i was a member here. Unbelievable that an alum and valued patron has to endure such disrespect. She didn't even say hi to me as i was walking in, and honestly through all my years at MHC i have never received any kind of helpfulness from ANY of the staff at MHC. I know many girls who attend here that have also been the victim of bullying for their sexuality, it's just not right! They say it's a great college but you don't know what truly goes on behind the closed doors of MHC. *Disclaimer: i am biased*

A highly discriminatory institution which encourages hate speech against those who are not far left in their point of view.

Suspend an employee for LIKING NRA TWEETS?? You guys better issue an oppology really quickly. This is the definition of fascist.

As a tax payer in this town, we should have total access to an institution that doesn't pay any taxes to the town. If the college were to start paying their fair share of taxes, our taxes wouldn't be so high. We are subsidizing this private college. And then we get hassled by their campus police. I'm really tired of this college thinking they own this town. ENOUGH!!!!!!

Minimal space for creativity, or for interdisciplinary studies. Neither is this a place for intellectual stimulation or curiosity, amongst very grade-oriented students who only care about getting a job, & who pretend they're confident, smart, & got their lives all sorted, while often broken inside in many ways. Professors don't guide you to your interests here, especially if your interests are interdisciplinary; ambiguity makes most of them uncomfortable. Creativity, or their movement for change ? Limited. An alum asked President Pasquerella about creative outlets for students, & other alums present sensed that she clearly did not understand that question, & only talked about the museum ... Myopic visions. Plenty of false advertising, which I fell for .. . Diversity: MHC gives much financial aid to students from Pakistan, China, Nepal & other countries, to market their diverse culture. While diverse in countries, the students they choose are very similar, & culture aside, all one of a kind. Grade oriented, often afraid to ask what they truly want in life (one girl even said, no one's ever asked me that before), & fake friendliness. . Special major: discouraged if it's not career-oriented. In more than 2 years, the Special major dean never saw a student design a major that's geared towards intellectual pursuits. Professors often unnecessarily stoke students' sense of intelligence, in discussions that are clearly bland, & with facts students state with a false sense of superiority that's already widely known in other schools. Classes seldom encourage you to do independent papers & seek out your specific interests, they are designed in the old-fashioned way of 'lecture, try to discuss, regurgitate, write essays, exams'. I did extensive research for all my classes, & professors, & asked seniors for their favorites, to little avail. Accommodation & food: if you're the independent sort, or with dietary issues .. avoid coming here. all $13,000 from the financial aid package is taken away if you choose to cook, or live off campus. No negotiation. I tried many times, to be greeted with a cold-hearted & icy 'No' by their head of financial services. I did email the president, since I literally got food comas & a painful belly from the lousy unhealthy food, which affected my work, & that was ignored. Other colleges simply shave $2000 off your financial aid package. Prettiness of campus wears off .. it's like a Ralph Lauren ad that confines nature to its own notion of beauty. The one merit of this school: part of the Five Colleges consortium.

Open your mind and enjoy the ride. Mhc has so much to offer. I wish I had the guts to apply when I was an undergrad. I am bias. I'm an 18 year employee.

Progressive agenda in full swing on this campus when professors are telling their students specifically who to vote for...shameful.

MOUNT HOLYOKE COLLEGE: A PEARL HIDDEN FROM VIEW. I visited Mount Holyoke College this afternoon in my continuing efforts to familiarize myself with the South Hadley academic community. It was my first detailed albeit, unguided tour of the College since my relocation to Massachusetts from New York a couple of months ago. It was a most fascinating experience. Hitherto I saw the College from the outside and only marveled from a distance at the beauty of the brickwork that appeared to pervade the entire scenery apparently only broken in parts by the many strategically-located trees that appeared to dance gently at the pleasure of the wind. Admiration of the College from outside is one pleasant thing. But true appreciation of the beauty of this iconic institution can only come from physical presence inside any of the buildings or "Halls" as the buildings are called. From Shattuck Hall after I succeeded in securing a parking space opposite one equally imposing church building, I took an unguided tour of the College Library. I was dumbfounded with what I saw. It was such a wonder to behold. The architecture, the serenity, the complete coordination of events, the palpable sense of mission and fulfillment on the faces of the students and staff, readily professed to any visitor to that lovely institution that the place is truly a treasure, an iconic institution that will for many generations to come remain the pride of the nation and a great testimony to the greatness of a people and humanity. The Shakespearean statement that gilded tombs do worms infold, would readily be effectively countered after a physical visit to this institution by another statement that dull brick walls seen from the outside meticulously conceal eternal treasures hidden in Mount Holyoke College. One wishes that many more people will share in one's pleasant experience by taking a casual and an unguided tour of Mount Holyoke College. The good fortune of the students and staff who find themselves in the institution will thus have been better appreciated. I was truly pleasantly surprised.

Touring the canvas with someone who might be interested in college campuses, it was a really nice campus to walk around. Clearly the maintenance staff is doing a great job at keeping it well manicured and there are plenty of trees around to provide shade when needed. All in all a nice place to visit.

Those libtards banned fishing because they put additives in the water. That has nothing to do with fishing and if those snowflakes are really that retarded to think that the hooks injure the fish then that schools got some problems I tell you what. Now theres no where to fish, thanks a lot liberals!

This is a place where you get to find your full potential. Couldn't be happier that I applied early decision here.

This is the one place where somehow, we all felt like we were part of a community, despite being of different fields of study and different backgrounds. The community, which is palpable long after you've left, is the icing on the cake.

First Impressions are so very important for this family. We visited Mount Holyoke with daughter who will be a transfer student this fall. Each person we met from Admissions and Financial Aid as well as in the Athletic department was genuinely interested in our Daughter. The students we spoke with were cordial, warm and excited for our Daughter to arrive next semester. Did I mention the campus is beautiful. Thank you all for welcoming us into the Lady Lyon Family!

Recent graduate. I had a great set of years here where the vast majority of my professors were fun and very encouraging. My advisors were really awesome about letting me do research with them to figure out where my interests lay, and I never felt like I was competing with my classmates. If I had to go back to high school and decide on colleges all over again, I’d pick MHC

Nickie Michaud Wild Is an awful woman it's curious to me they'd have a woman who regularly cyber bullies children employed at a college. She's pretty disgusting.
