Mt Holyoke College, still Monday


Hannah and I went on the 3pm tour and then she had a 4pm interview...

All women: One of the original seven sister schools, now down to five

Our tour guide was Lepo (sp?) from Southern Africa

• "Daughter schools": schools created by Mt Holyoke alums, like Mills

• Engineering program with UCBerkeley 3, 1, 1

Five schools consortium: Hampshire, Smith, Mt Holyoke, Amherts and UMASS Amherst

21 dorms, all mixed ages; no singles first year

Sports Illustrated named it best D3 Women’s sports (of single sex? schools? not sure)

Emily Dickenson is one of many famous alums

The campus had a great feel, the twon is cute and Hannah is happy to be close to civilization again...

This is on the list and will stay there...


We did take a time out to relax a bit; sat in a cafe, had a snack, wrote some notes, got Hannah some cold medicine...

now on to Springfield...
