Smith College Top Questions

First, not so accurate, but accurate enough. Second, definitely accurate.

Some days it does seem like everyone is a lesbian, but that's not true at all. But Smithies are very politically correct and hard working!

There is a large proportion of gay students, but not the majority. There is a large variety of people from different socioeconomic backgrounds.

There are a lot of lesbians, but there are also a fair number of straight girls. Also, the annoying, stuck up, self-righteous Smithie is found but can definitely be avoided. For the most part, you can totally find someone who is like you and hates the same people that you do. That's part of what's wonderful about Smith -- for every stereotype, there's a good number of people who serve solely as a foil. Sometimes, Smithies are too smart for their own good. I've heard "You can always tell a Smithie, but you can't tell her much" more than once. I think Smithies tend to have such good friends in college because, sometimes, we're the only people who can put up with people like Smithies.

It is not true that all or most Smithies are lesbians and we certainly are not all ugly. While most are rather liberal there are moderate and conservative students here.
