Student Life

A thousand acres of woods, fields, and a working farm. Sixty-one sports teams to choose from, a new building for the arts, and student-run clubs and organizations where you can explore your passions or try something new. A dining hall that serves food you’ll actually like and dorms where you’ll feel at home.  A campus full of interesting people who are comfortable being who they are and excited by the things they’re doing. That’s life at Northfield Mount Hermon.

That life starts with the dorms. Far more than the place you lay your head at night, they're where you and your friends and resident faculty members let your hair down, so to speak. And even if you're a day student, you're assigned a specific dorm, so you can take part in house-based activities and have a place to spend the night if you need to.

Eating at NMH is pretty out of the ordinary, too. Take, for example, the soft serve ice cream. It’s made from our own NMH farm milk. Mmmm. It's a good thing the cafeteria is open virtually all day for grazing!

But beyond food and shelter, life at NMH is full and wonderful. There will be work, yes. You'll have a weekly job and you may take on the responsibility of a leadership role. But with lots of clubs and weekend activities and fun NMH traditions, you may stop calling this place school and start calling it your world.
