My D is a firstie at Smith. I get the impression from her that opinions are more diverse, and the population a little more nerdy than you might think on first impression. Yes, pronouns and feminism and social justice are a big deal, and of course there are social pressures at any college. But also, people can (and do) disagree and treat each other with respect. Smith invites in a lot of outside speakers, too, and they tend to challenge the common thread and get people thinking with more nuance. My D has a politically incorrect and wacky sense of humor, and she has lots of friends.
