 Hi Prospective students! Welcome to Mount Holyoke! Today we're going to check out one of my favorite residence halls, Wilder. So about 98% of Mount Holyoke students live on campus all four years, so this could be a space that you one day live in. Hi Regina! Hey Zoe! Welcome to Wilder! Thank you! Should we look around? Yeah! Let's have a look! Over here is the golden pear, aka the kitchen. This is a nice space where you can cook. I sometimes bake with my friends in here, which is a super fun thing to do. Here's the common room, and there's the TV. Also I just sometimes do homework here. My friends and I like to have Wilder study group after dinner sometimes. So do you have to reserve the TV to use it? You can reserve it if you're like doing something with a student org or like a specific event, but also if it's free you can just turn it on and watch TV whenever. International cable channels! Oh that's cool! We are an international campus. Here's the other common room in Wilder, which doesn't have a TV, but does have a piano. Also another really cool thing about Mount Holyoke is every school night, we have MNCs at 9.30, which stands for milk and cookies. Do you have a favorite MNC? I really like the oatmeal raisins ones, which I know that's like an unpopular opinion, but I think they're by far the best. Couldn't agree more. How does this elevator work? It works really well. One of the best elevators we have here at Mount Holyoke. No, I mean like Magna? Sure. So this is the arts floor, which is an LLC, and a lot of people on the arts floor applied to live because of specific interests. So we all have these things on our doors for like what we're interested about. This is my room. This is my mini fridge that was actually given to me. It's a hand-me-down mini fridge. This is my bookcase, which has some books, some games, some mugs. That's my first year plant. Every incoming first year gets a plant that they get to pick out. No, mine died. I live vicariously through other people's plants now. We can co-parent this one. Thank you. So my roommate and I are both love music and theater, and that's like why we applied to live on the arts floor. That's like how we bonded. That's really cool. How did they put you together? Did you fill out a survey or something? Yeah, so because we had to apply to the LLC, they got a sense of us through that application, but then also Mount Holyoke through residence. You type in like your sleep schedule if you're clean, then they kind of pair you with people that they think you'd work well with. I bought this really funny shirt for $199 at the Chicopee Goodwill. It says Pipta. People from South Hadley call it the PBTI. Yeah, everybody except for Mount Holyoke students calls it that. I'm pretty sure, right? Do you like living in Wilder? I love living in Wilder. It's very centrally located. You can literally see the dining commons from here. I like roll out of my bed. I'm at breakfast in two seconds, and it's really close to academic buildings. It's a really nice location, and it's just one of Mount Holyoke's many beautiful old buildings. So this is the Arts Lounge. That's so cool. What do you do in here? There's sometimes hall events here or floor events. It's also just like an open space that you can come and watch a movie, do homework, hang out. They have like markers and coloring books and just like art supplies that you can use. Mean Girls. Oh, some great movies in here. Sister of the Travelling Pants too, are you kidding? Regina, thanks so much for joining me Wilder. It was my pleasure, Zoe. Have a good rest of your day. Yeah, see you later. Well, I hope that answered some of your questions about what Wilder is like and what residential life is like here at Mount Holyoke. So I hope that you enjoyed, and I'll see you around.
