<p>Thats not really true about smith. Smith Hall is basically across the street from stetson east’s back entrance. It is not in a shady location either, and It’s maybe a minute farther from everything than the stetstons. You still shouldnt have to walk more than 10 mins to any class. I’ve only been inside Smith once, but it was nice. The 3 main dorms (stetson east/west, speare) have jail cell like rooms almost. They are very small and not carpeted, with metal beds. I might be wrong, but i remember smith having carpeted floors, which is nice, and it has nicer wood beds. Honestly, all the freshman dorms at Northeastern are pretty nice. And it is definitely not in a shady area.</p>
<p>I lived in Kerr my freshman year which was on the Fenway, basically the street behind where Smith is, and its even farther away from the center of campus. I loved it, and I would never have wanted to live in one of the bigger dorms.</p>
