Reviewing a college on Trip Advisor is a bit odd. (Just a bit? Ya think?) Still, if you're in the area with your high-school daughter and she's considering colleges, Mt. Holyoke is worth a trip. It's a lovely campus, tighter than Amherst (which will matter when she's walking to and from class all winter), good library and other facilities, a few cafes to grab a bite, etc. Yeah, none of this says anything about the college, but kids are often impressionable about the small stuff. (I also highly recommend it as a college.)

Beautiful college campus - compete with lakes, small mill pond type water fall, historic buildings in a semi-rural little New England town. Attended convocation - faculty and seniors processed into the Amphitheater to the beat of African drumming - senior class color was green and the students were creative in their expression of this while garbed in caps and gowns. We saw "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" , Green Peas, Dragons, Gumby and many more fun and entertaining sights. Sophomore class color is yellow and there were visits from a variety of flowers, PikaChu, a banana and other yellow delights. Having attended another Seven Sister College with a much more conservative slant to convocation, it was fun to see how the Mout Holyoke women bring in the new academic year.

The lakes are exquisite with well-maintained trails for running or walking (bikes not allowed). The library has a recently donated Chihuly sculpture. People are friendly, and the grounds and buildings are beautiful.

Brought back memories for the wife and enjoyed talking with her classmates and with the President. A very well planned event. The honors presentation was a little long

Visited in late fall, some leaves of oak and beach trees, we visited the library and a couple of other buildings, fun just to walk around, almost all of the plantings and trees have been id, really helpful if your interested.

wonderful and varied trees, great green-house with exotic plants, and a lake. walking around the campus and the old buildings is very peaceful.

Possibly the most beautiful of fine ivy-covered New England college campuses, the Mount Holyoke College campus has the brick-and-ivy but also has campus greens, two lakes, small waterfalls, an excellent art museum, an amazing horticultural building with a Victorian greenhouse, an outdoor ampitheatre where graduation (both for the College & the town High School) take place, and an impressive library with wonderful archives. The school is the first of the Seven Sisters (the female version of the Ivy League) and the grave of founder Mary Lyon is in the center of campus, honored at every Graduation Weekend by the graduating class who wreath it in ivy while singing "Bread and Roses" the old song of women's suffrage. The college is steeped in tradition and the campus reflects this. It has kept to the original design and new buildings exactly match the old for a sense of cohesion and symmetry that is truly artistic.It would be well worth a visit with a potential female college student or just to enjoy the well-executed design and the resources contained here. And remember the beauty of the autumn foliage! Mount Holyoke College is breathtaking in October!

I loved my alma mater experience here, and its a gorgeous campus to just visit if you're in the area. It looks lovely with all the autumn hues, but also in the spring and summer time with all the flowers in bloom, and even in the winter time the gothic architecture stands out amongst the snow (go around December, and you can see the main entrance decked out in pretty Christmas lights)! There are also 2 lakes you can walk around, as well as a small art museum (I love the Hetchy Canyon painting), and an arboretum. The campus was designed by the same person that designed NYC's Central Park, and inside the library is reminiscent of old England.

Go in the late spring to the early fall, the campus is absolutely gorgeous. Neo-Gothic architecture and well-manicured greens abound, and the lakes are great to visit with kids.
