Favorite MHC Tradition: I love O101 because of how fun it is to see the Orientation Leaders perform silly skits, and also because of how supportive and energetic it is when everyone is welcoming in the new first-year class.

Why Mount Holyoke?: At first, Mount Holyoke was not on my radar at all; it did not even make it onto my huge initial list of colleges to look at. However, when I was in the area touring other schools, I decided I might as well walk through campus. After wandering around a bit and popping into the library, I felt that this was somewhere I would love to be the next four years. So, I cancelled my tour for the next day at another school and scheduled one here instead, which only ended up reaffirming my thoughts.
