Smith College Top Questions

I love Smith. It is the right place for so many people.

I'm with Talbot House!

Come to Smith it's great!

I am Smith.

Talbot House!

My house! I live in Talbot House in Upper Elm. It houses 80 students. And we have an amazing community that is accepting, close knit, and a little bit strange. Mouse love!

TALBOT HOUSE!!! The food is good, except for right before break. I'm pretty sure that is universal though. We have some excellent cooks, and because there are multiple dining halls, there is a fairly high chance you will get to know the staff. You are allowed to eat at as many dining halls as you want every day, and as much as you want. Food isn't a major focus of college life, I know, but it sure makes a difference to have something palatable available after an exam.

This is for Talbot House!!!

I can't imagine going anywhere else but Smith. I thought I wanted to go to a Co-ed school but I really can't see myself at such a school anymore. I have learned so much at Smith about just about everything I have immersed myself in -- including myself. I have had some of the most amazing professors and am truly awed by their skills and knowledge. All the while, I have met some incredible people who mean the world to me. I find that I am frequently just astounded and so proud of my friends. Smith has a beautiful campus, with amazing teachers, and amazing students (for the most part). But, every college has some problems and Smith is, in no way, exempt from that.

Chapin House rocks!

I LIVE IN WASHBURN HOUSE.

I hated Smith at first, but the I learned to love it...not because I got used to the lifestyle here, but because I took a deeper look at the things that I didn't like about this place and realized that they weren't bad because of it's nature, but it was because I didn't understand it and how to deal with it. I couldn't be happier now:)

SMITH IS AN AMAZING SCHOOL. I highly recommend it to those who are willing to forgo everything the once thought about themselves and accept change. I have certainly changed plenty since coming here and I like to think for the better. It is difficult and school is tough, but so worth it in the end.

i think i'm pretty much set.

The best part about Smith is the house I live in: Hopkins House. It is one of two co-ops on campus, where we cook all our own food and are off the campus dining plan. Aside from this awesome opportunity to cook, it is a chance to live with people who genuinely believe in living intentionally and caring for one another. As I type this, I can hear people laughing in the kitchen, eating ice cream and griping about their classes. I love this house, and it is where I have met people who will remain my friends for life.

Washburn House - where I live is a small house with only ~40 people. We work hard to have a community - only about 10 or 15 of us participate regularly, but its a comfortable house atmosphere and we definitely look out for each other. A lot of houses are small and I assume have some community, though of course there are larger houses with 100 people that aren't quiet on the weekends - again, there's such a diversity in choice, even on campus - you can live in a small quiet house or a more traditional college dorm... apartment style or coops are available too (though not many language houses at all : (

I live in Hopkins House, which has been a real haven of sanity during my time at Smith. I like cooking for myself and my housemates, and I really love having a close-knit community to come home to.

Beware the Smith bubble, it really gets to people. And you really do meet some really cool people and make some really good friends here, and did I mention its absolutely beautiful, which I think does make a difference.
