Where to go? Mount Holyoke?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I got into these colleges. I would really appreciate any opinions on where to go! I like them all, although the idea of going to a women's college is particularly appealing. How does Mount Holyoke stack up compared to the others? Is it prestigious enough? Although money is a factor, I'm looking more for opinions based on non-financial impressions of these colleges.</p>

<p>Mount Holyoke College (recipient of the 21st Century Scholarship 25,000 a year plus funding for summer internship/research)
NYU (College of Arts and Science)
Colgate University
Boston College (Honors Program Arts and Science)
Boston University (Kilachand Honors College, which I do really like)
Fordham University (Dean's Scholarship, 10,000 a year)
Bard College
University of Hartford (full scholarship, Honors Program, but I really don't particularly like the place)</p>

<p>I think a big question here is what kind of setting do you prefer? Small, rural liberal arts (MoHo, Bard) or urban university (NYU, BU, Fordham)? That can help you eliminate at least some of your options.</p>

<p>You can’t go wrong at MHC. Small LAC, with a state flagship 20 minutes away, along with perhaps the best college town in the country, in Amherst. D is a MHC graduate who is now in grad school at an urban university, and she misses the Pioneer Valley a great deal. There is a reason MHC is on college confidential’s list of best LACs!!</p>
