Hi everyone. I am a lesbian considering applying to Mount Holyoke College. Do you think I will be able to find a good queer community there? Someone to date?
Sincerely,
anxious high school student
I don’t go there, but my friend is bi, met her girlfriend there, and has had a very fantastic and welcoming experience. Very open minded people.
You would definitely find an LGBTQ community there. You might also find someone to date at one of the other consortium schools, like Smith it Hampshire.
Hello! I am a lesbian who is attending MHC. It’s definitely a very welcoming place with an active LGBT community. There is even a Living Learning Community for members of the LGBT community. Hope this helps!
Hi you definitely will find a good queer community there. Many students identify as LGBT, and as other posts have said, you can even live on a floor specific for members of the LGBT community. I know many students find partners at Hampshire and Smith. I don’t recommend dating another MHC student because if you break up, it’s a small enough campus that you’ll run into each other and will probably share the same social circle so things could get awkward.
