Unlike many other international students at Mount Holyoke, Kejing (Momo) Jin ’19, from Beijing, China, has lived in the U.S. for five years. Jin attended a test-oriented high school in Beijing that did not appreciate her drive for academic excellence or her participation in extracurricular activities. “[Students] had ten classes a day, six days a week and everything was about scores because in China it’s still all about your college entrance examination score,” said Jin.
