The Changing Face of Women's Colleges

<p>Hi Stinky!</p>

<p>Short answer: YES! Longer answer…Mt Holyoke is in a somewhat more bucolic location than center-of-town Smith or suburban Wellesley. But as noted in one of the earlier posts, Mt Holyoke is part of the 5-College consortium that includes UMass/Amherst (25K students!), Smith, Amherst, and Hampshire. There is cross-registration, which lots of students take advantage of, and a FREE 5-College bus system. So if a student wants to remain on Mt Holyoke’s uber-lovely campus, they can; but if they want to venture further afield, that is easy to do as well. To say that the area is resource rich for college students is a vast understatement.</p>
