Mount Holyoke College Top Questions

For the most part, but they don't take into account those who crash and burn trying to live up to the stereotypes

No! True there is a significant "Queer" population (to use a general term for many different catagories), but it's not the majority of students by far. As for the "desperate" label, yes, after a month or so lots of us will be a little more forward in our advances towards boys, but I (like most of my fellow MHC women) did not come to college to get married. We're by no means desperate!

For the most part, no. While I find students to be competitive, it is usually more with besting their own efforts than someone else's.

No. Every campus has their party girls and Mount Holyoke has some, but not an overwhelming amount. Mount Holyoke has a lot of different types of people and not all of them party.

For the most part they are...its a womans college so there is a pretty prevelant lesbian culture on campus...its alot more in your face than i would have thought it would be..not much for parties on campus either but amherst and umass are fun

We do have a large lesbian population but I don't think there is a lot of pressure from our gay community. We do have some girls who act desperate for guys. We are a very intellectual community.

You certainly have those individuals who hold up both stereotypes, but thats only a handful out of 2,000 women. Most of us clearly can not be categorized that simply and don't possess characteristics of either stereotypes.

A lot of them are but you can be a hot nerd here!

no

Not necessarily.
