Emily's Educational Background

Emily attended Amherst College from 1834 to 1847. After 13 years of College, Emily enrolled into a school known as, Mount Holyoke Female Seminary. She attended that school for one year, until she became homesick and decided to leave. Holyoke Female Seminary was the last school that Emily ever attended. After her school years, she rarely left her home. She had very few visitors and practically began picking up her mothers traits. She became a very self reserved person and quiet to outsiders. She had very few friends, but those who knew her, were very near and dear to her heart.
