Mount Holyoke was and is a women's college (NOT a girl's school!)  In
fact, it's the oldest continuing women's college in the country, one of
the original Seven Sisters.

I started there in '82 and there WAS no CS department - I took CS
classes from math and physics teachers.  I ended up with a minor in CS
(and a double major in astronomy and physics) and that was by taking
every CS class they had.  It was important for astrophyics research to
be able to program a computer.  I spend a lot of time data-mining from
Arocibo magtapes IIRC.

Anyway, glad you enjoyed it.  I was part of the Five College Community,
taking classes at Amherst College, Smith College, UMass/Amherst as part
of my astrophysics/CS life - it was too multi-disciplinary for one small
liberal arts college.  I really sucked the marrow out of that place.

Ten years later I went back to work in the computer department for a
little while - a job-sharing position when my kids were tiny before I
went to grad school - and the computer facilities were first rate -
showcase quality.  It was a very supportive place.
