 It has been such an essential part of my education at Mount Holyoke to have so many people in the classroom who come from places other than where I'm from. When you come into Mount Holyoke, the biggest thing is that everyone's really different. They have their own story. Being exposed to so many different kinds of people is a place where everyone is accepted no matter your background, your perspectives, where you come from. When I come back to Mount Holyoke, I feel so lucky to be a part of such a diverse, inclusive campus. Really just having that community to go back to at the end of the day has helped me feel like I belong here at Mount Holyoke. Everyone is coming in with these different life experiences, whether it be cultural diversity, religious diversity, socioeconomic diversity. And it's like traveling the world, but you're still in one place and you're meeting all these wonderful people. It's pretty great. It's really exciting to know that we have friends from all over the world that we can continue to be in touch with even after we leave Mount Holyoke in South
