| I also went to open campus and discovery weekend. For open campus I stayed in Wilson house with one of the soccer players. She and the team were very nice. I sat in on a intro to sociology class. The class was long, but interesting (they were talking about flight attendents and the way they act now and why). I also took an atheletic tour and the facilities are amazing. I also did a science tour and the research that some of the professors were doing were very intesting. One was doing one that delt with embryos and nervous system of blue fish.
My experience for discovery weekend were a little different. I didn't really see or bond with my host as much. We just didn't have the same interests, and when we went out they social scene wasn't exactly my cup of tea. However, I did see a number of guys at night and also some during the day--but the guys during the day were usually with another girl. I got to go on a bus tour of the other 4 campuses and they were closer than I thought.
Overall, from the panels and classes I sat in on, the teachers and faculty sounded very knowledgable and I feel that if I went to Smith, I would definity get a great education. However, im still a little worried about the social scene. Ofcourse, I didn't experience what it was like going off campus but I felt a little uncomfortable at times. |
