Campus Visit Notes for Smith College:
Visit Description:
Our two visits were great experiences for our family. Students and staff were welcoming and understanding, and took the time to answer all questions. Our visits were so wonderful that our daughter decided to apply early decision. Great science programs if interested, and their engineering program, although new, is very good and already nationally recognized.
Dining/Restaurant Recommendations or Comments:
Lots of options here. Sylvester's was one of our favorites.
