Returning to the question of "Why All-Women's Schools?"

<p>As SmithieandProud said- I was always one of the “loudest” kids in my HS in the classroom (teachers have actually shut me up to give others a chance to talk).</p>

<p>While I didn’t feel that Smith improved on that part much, I felt greater improvement in social life- being around other women helped me to find my own voice for the “real life.” It’s the biggest reason for why I don’t regret going to Smith for my first year. I have more self-confidence in social situations. :)</p>

<p>There’s always a place somewhere on campus for Smithies to find their self-confidence- doesn’t always have to be in the classroom (as I discovered too late after transferring out…).</p>
