It's fine. Endowment per student is ok, outcomes are ok.
Smith is a much better pick if looking for a similar school. So is Wellesley, Bowdoin, even Wesleyan.

How do you know outcomes are OK? Where would one find this info?

Their own career center data.

Can’t believe it’s still in business.

Gorgeous campus, diverse, kind students and seems like a great school. D26 liked it a lot, but the financial aid offer was not great- came in over twice as expensive as Smith for us, which we were surprised by.

OP, I truly don't know. I think it's a great school. It's not right for every student but then what school is?

Then Holyoke is more conservative, so it doesn’t even have that going for it. Just kind of meh alround.

Um. Conservative?!? LOL
