Diverse Housing Options With Homey Feel

The housing at MHC has very diverse options. Students can chose between dorms with wood floors or tile floors. All of the buildings have their own pros and cons and because the campus is small, none of the dorms are too far away from classes. There are different areas of campus where students can live such as: upper lake, lower lake, or the green. All of the rooms are larger than any of the rooms of my friends at other colleges. MHC treats its students well. All dorms are near or have dining rooms therefore food is never far away!

No Greek Life

MHC likes to say that it's one big sorority, which in many cases is true. The dorm and hall the students live on during their first year can sometimes be a bond that lasts a life time, if not most students find their replacement for greek life in their activities, teams, or groups. UMASS is a bus ride away and there is a large greek life there.

All About MHC

The academics at MHC are rigorous. Every student seems to be challenged within their major and every student seems to love being studious. There are two types of MHC social scene, one scene is on campus which is a smaller scene and harder to break into, the other scene is found off campus at either Smith, Hampshire, Amherst, or UMASS. Smith is usually where Mohos go to meet other women. Hampshire has a larger pot scene than MHC. Amherst has greek life and so does UMASS.

The facilities at MHC are fantastic. MHC is constantly updating its facilities. The New Dorm was just built, is LEED certified, and has fantastic rooms. Porter Dorm is being updated summer of 2010.

The five college consortium is great for majors that don't have many class options at MHC. The buses run regularly and every student has class with at least 1 or 2 students from the five colleges, which also helps students meet people from other campuses.

The concert scene is not fantastic. There is one main theater in Northampton (where Smith is located) where mainstream musicians play.
