<p>^ People transfer for a lot of different reasons. It would be impossible to make a blanket statement about the “kind of people” who transfer or about the reasons why they do it. I don’t think most do it because of the women’s college atmosphere, if that’s what you’re asking. </p>
<p>No college decisions is 100% foolproof. At any college or university you will find students who ended up hating it so much that they transferred to another school. No one can promise you that you won’t end up transferring from Smith. But fear of failure doesn’t seem to me like a very good reason not to try, if you think Smith is good for you generally. And there’s nothing wrong with deciding to transfer colleges. They say that the crooked path has its dividends.</p>
