<p>Justchamp, you ask so many questions, it’s hard to know where to start. </p>
<p>Smith is considered an excellent preparation for graduate school. I saw somewhere recently that I think 64% or 68% of Smith graduates attend graduate school within five years of graduation; I saw the info in a video but I can’t find it right now, so here’s this:

<p>Northampton is quite safe as a town. </p>
<p>Compared to BU or NYU which are huge universities, Smith is a liberal arts college and as far as I’m concerned is a much better preparation for grad school than a large university.

<p>There! I’ve answered your questions. Good luck!</p>
