Smith College Reviews
Rating 3.7 out of 5 907 reviews
I'm more than a decade out from my time at Smith and it still remains a powerful force in my life. I made some of my closest friends there, of course, but it also taught me how to think. I'm still in touch with several professors from my time there, which I think says a lot about the kind of academic relationships Smith fosters. I also learned, through osmosis, that women could do absolutely everything -- running clubs, leading projects, taking every possible major and extra curricular activity, etc. Really helps when you get into the real world and you get hit with passive or active sexism!
In addition, as a queer woman, being in an environment with many other queer people (not the majority, but certainly a strong minority) was deeply, deeply empowering. I am also proud to know many trans men, non-binary, and gender queer Smithies, and grateful that they were part of the Smith community then and now!

I loved my time there! Excellent environment for education. Great investment for your future ,You get to pick your courses and learn what would be the best for you. Professors are your friends and mentors. They would share their enthusiasm for their fields. You would get support and understanding at every level in administration. You would make life-long friendships. Students support each other and are inclusive and kind, that's the school culture. Not a party school, but there are tons of clubs, groups, activities.
Smith, overall, is a really great school. The campus is gorgeous, the professors are knowledgable and engaging, and the housing is incredible. While I would like to see more efforts towards inclusion of marginalized groups, such as racial minorities and disabled people, I think Smith is working towards progress. Being at a school without cis men allows for a very different classroom environment, and it allowed me to really come into my own and form my own opinions. I love it here!
