<p>I don’t know as much about studio art at Smith as I do science, but it is very well thought of. I understand there are amazing facilities where you can do just any kind of art, so if the classes are over-enrolled, I can understand why.</p>
<p>The sciences are off the charts at Smith, well represented with 30% of declared majors. My daughter’s a senior and English major; among the majors of her closest friends are geology, biology/neuroscience and marine biology. The phenomenal internships, extra research opportunities and the close mentoring with their advisors to the point of grooming them for graduate programs have been thrilling to see. They have worked their tails off and they have thrived. </p>
<p>I’m sure you know about Ford Hall, the newest building on campus dedicated to engineering and the sciences. The engineering program is really intense and challenging, yet it’s an amazing women’s engineering program where they can blossom, develop confidence and hold their own in what is, unfortunately, currently a man’s field.</p>
