<p>Smith offers a lot of opportunities for research collaborations with professors. I’m not a science student, but it seems like all of my science oriented friends are engaged in some sort of research project, and during the summer and J-term breaks they’re always doing some exciting research thing, and they’ve been doing stuff like that since the first year. I can’t speak to the other women’s colleges, but Smith does have a large concentration of science students, and we are building a brand new Engineering and bio-sciences building that was made possible by a 12 million dollar gift from Ford motors. The gift is aimed at helping us foster women engineers, but the building is going to benefit all of the science students. I feel like science is very much a focus of the college right now (which is not neccessarily a positive thing for me since I’m a government major, but it’s great if science is your thing). </p>
<p>Also, double majoring in a science and humanity will not be an issue. Smith loves those kinds of things, and you are hardly the first student to try them.</p>
