Racism at Smith

<p>I think the big difference at Smith, relative to other institutions, is CLASS. With 59.2% of the student body receiving need-based aid, and a full 25% on Pell Grants (i.e., family income below $45k)), the shape of the student body is substantially different than you will find at, for example, Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore, Yale, etc. (on another forum, I posted all the comparatively data, and you can see it for yourself.) The character of discourse is likely to be well different as a result.</p>
