Hang out in common spaces, go to tower theatre to catch a mvoie, ride on the PVTA to other colleges, hang out with friends here and there, mostly parties at UMASS or Amherst. Nothing much at MHC though.

I hang out with my bf and his friends so I dont know much about social life at MOHO. I dont think its too rocking.

Non-existant.
You study or you have nothing else to do. Could join a club but its not hardcore or anything. Its all about the grades.

We chill in our rooms, in common spaces, Blanchard which is our student center, that is where we hang out most.
People do leave their doors open a lot and we randomly go into rooms and talk to people, disturb them, listen to music.
Blanchard parties are okay, they're decent...too many girls I guess.

many clubs to join and things to get involved in. got 5 colleges things to do. all you need is some motivation and extra time (which we lack at mt. holyoke) and you can find anything to everything that you're looking for

LOL. SOCIAL LIFE? I'd say WHAT social life. I go to Boston which is, thank god, an hour and a half away, so I get my social life requirements done at least once a month but I dont know how the rest of the college fares in such anti-social conditions.......................................

Many students in the dorms leave their doors open, or frequently leave doors unlocked.
At a women's college, "the dating scene" is tricky to classify. There are plenty of homosexual and bisexual relationships on campus, but heterosexuals often will date someone from one of the other colleges in the area, or have a relationship from their homes.
My closest friends are those on the floor in my dorm, close to my age, and those I bonded with at orientation and in the beginning of classes.
If I'm awake at 2 am on a Tuesday, I am either doing homework, like a paper I foolishly put off until the last minute, or I am watching tv episodes on my computer or chatting to people online.
Each year, DIS-O occurs, which is a senior/firstie bonding tradition that promotes dorm pride. Also, "elfing" occurs, where sophomores leave little presents for their designated firsties each night for a week before the two get to meet. On Mountain Day, which no one but the president knows until that day, the bells in Abbey Chapel ring, classes for the morning are cancelled, and students are encouraged to hike the nearby mountain.

If I'm awake at 2am on a Tuesday I'm probably (a) doing homework, (b) talking with friends, or (c) stalking people on Facebook. As a gerneal rule, Mount Holyoke students work hard during the week and party hard on the weekends.

the rugby team is kind of a big deal.
everyone knows everyone but your extracurriculars really define who you're friends with-- there's definitely co-mingling but ice hockey folks hang out together, same with music groupes, etc
