For me, it was an academically challenging, but nurturing place. I’m still friends with many of my classmates. It was hard to be somewhere so rural at times but I also

This is fair. In the past it had many foreign service daughters bc it was cosy and academic; good place to be when your family was far away. It has grown its international student population which is interesting, but also makes it less traditional. Also, as a PP mentioned, politics are generally liberal and gender fluidity has a clear presence. Your DD doesn’t have to participate in this at all, but probably needs a comfort level about seeing it. That said, My Holyoke is still considered one of the colleges that provides a first rate undergraduate experience and its a great launch pad for grad school in science, health professions, law and really anything else. Opportunities fit all students to be leaders and try our new clubs, radio, writing whatever. Great study spaces. And all the participation that she had the gumption to seek out and much bigger UMass  (free bus) and other colleges. [/quote]
