Dorm-mestic exploration: the ‘party dorms’ and the black sheep

How well do we all know the residence halls on campus? There are 18 dorms at Mount Holyoke College. All of them were gradually added to campus following the fire that burned down the original Mount Holyoke seminary building in 1896. A colorful bunch, the dorms each have distinct quirks and drawbacks. Your personal taste may affect how you see each one, but they all have something to offer that truly makes a resident’s experience unique. This past week, I visited Rockefeller Hall, Mandelle Hall and Dickinson Hall, respectively two party dorms and the black sheep of Mount Holyoke’s student residences.
