<p>I was wondering what is life like at MHC? What is a usual day for you there (your schedule, activities, work, anything). Does Mount Holyoke have a gym or a sport center? What about the dorm rooms- how many roomates are there for juniors/ seniors? Since the college is not very close to a big city, is there a lot to do there regarding political/ feminist/ human rights activism?
Please feel free to add anything you want to talk about. Thanks for your time.</p>
<p>Can you please add sth about the libraries too? Is there one library or more than one? Are they open 24 hours? Are they located far away from the dorms?</p>
<p>Does Mount Holyoke have a gym or a sport center?: Yes. </p>
<p>How many roommates are there for juniors/seniors?: You will most likely have a single by your upper years, but there may be a chance (I'm not positive) that you'll have one roommate as a junior. If you are a transfer, you will probably have a roomie your first year.</p>
<p>Is there one library or more than one?: One very beautiful, award-winning library! It is truly lovely!</p>
<p>Are they open 24 hours?: Only during finals. It is open pretty late anyway though.</p>
<p>Are they located far away from the dorms?: No, not at all, but precisely how close you are depends upon your dorm. Pearsons is the closest to the library.</p>
<p>Is there a lot to do there regarding political/ feminist/ human rights activism?: Do you mean protests, or discussions and club-related options? I'd say that the latter is not lacking at all, but the former is more of a city activity. I think I remember reading about MHC students taking a trip to DC for a pro-choice protest a while ago, and different orgs set up trips related to their different causes, so you will have SOME active protest options. Recycling and waste-management are big issues there right now too. Anyway, MHC students are generally very cognizant of political and equal rights issues. You will never be at a loss for finding someone with whom to discuss and debate issues of importance. You just may have to do a bit more planning if you want to travel to NYC for a rally. :)</p>
<p>What are the most important things (and the most necessary ones) to bring to a dorm room?</p>
