Smith College Top Questions

Some days you may wonder why you chose this women's college, but then you will think about the classes you're taking, how beautiful the campus, the pond and the nature trail are, and how much you love Northampton and you will remember. But only come if you really mean it.

SO smith is pretty cool. it's not perfect, but no where is. sometimes you can feel trapped inside a smith bubble - cut off from the goings on of the world. but it's not hard to get off campus. make friends at other schools!

Smith is a place for leaders. Do not think you are going to come here and things are just goin to be given to you like in high school. You have to work for everything!

FROM TALBOT HOUSE!!

Sometimes, half of the floor will be menstruating at the same time and the boxes for pads will get full. That kinda sucks.

Talbot House!!! I LOVE the housing system. Every residential building has character, traditions, and history. There's a house for everyone, whether you like a quiet environment all the time, or you want to be somewhere parties happen often, and you can be loud at 2 in the morning on a weekday.

No, I think I wrote enough.

MONKEYS!

I live in Talbot House, and it is the best! To give you an idea of what going to Smith is like, this semester someone started a group called Grammar Underground that distributes flyers in people's mailboxes advocating good grammar. That's pretty friggin' awesome. There is a significant number of transgendered (female to male) students, who for the most part are accepted in the Smith community. Having grown up in a place where I hardly even knew any gay people it was really weird at first, but I got used to having trans students around pretty quickly and now I'm friends with a few trans Smithies.
