Smith College Top Questions

There are so many different kinds of students at Smith. We have students of all religions, races, and economic backgrounds, students who play sports and wear sweatpants to class, students who dress up for class and are in student government, and everyone in between. Any group you're looking for, you can probably find. However, it is important to be LGBT friendly because many students at Smith are very open about their sexuality, and expect their peers to be accepting. There are also many Democrats, and a lot of students come from wealthy families.

Smith students are for the most part liberal, and extremely "LGBTQIA" friendly. That's the biggest issue on our campus, it is a safe haven for people questioning their identity so anti-gay marriage supporters might feel uncomfortable. I think what's great about Smith is that we are all different. There aren't a whole lot of pressures on students to dress or act a certain way. Whether you want to wear Prada or sweatpants to class you will be treated the same. Furthermore, the housing system ensures that you are meeting all kinds of people and becoming friends with them because you live with them. As with anywhere though, people who are similar tend to hang out with each other. Financial backgrounds are very widely ranged and we are working on addressing issues of awareness around class equity. Overall we are incredibly diverse. We are also more focused on our own personal development than a lot of other schools I think. Though we have an excellent Career Development Office, students really feel free to pursue their passions, not just what will make them the most money.
