[quote=Anonymous]My kid visited and liked both schools  MHC is in a nicer area (for college students). With easy access to other campuses and schools. It really prides itself in making female leaders (which I think is cool). I feel like a young woman would come out of that place very well educated and confident. We also got the sense that the community is less competitive (in a good way) than Smith or Wellesley (though there is a lot of stress, still, which appears to be self-driven).

I have also heard that the 7 sisters college network (which still exists, even though the network has evolved) is super strong, when it comes to career support, alumni connections, etc.

Vassar was too artsy for my science kid-- just her impression. Might be perfect for your child. And there is easy access to NYC on the train (though I heard in reality, students don't go in often).

MHC has a very strident contingent, regarding what they call "marginalized genders." That may or may not appeal to your DC. My DD decided she preferred a coed environment.

Best of luck, they are both great schools. [/quote]
