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 College’s original 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, Betty Smart ‘26 visited Torrey Hall, Abbey Hall and Pearsons Annex, three dorms that mark the turning point between Mount Holyoke’s older and newer-styled living spaces.
