Alums Speak on the Direction of Mount Holyoke College: Sara Taylor '95

A similar drop out of the top 25 occurred while I was a student, from 1991–1995. I would not be surprised if one reason for the drop both times is tied to demographic trends.

I believe that we have entered a similar situation now that much if not all of Gen Y has finished college.
