<p>I have visited many LACs this year and I found the smoking at Bard to be overwhelming. It was pervasive and quite disgusting. Butts were everywhere. Smoke was everywhere.
WAY more than other colleges I toured.
After we saw Bard we started noticing smoking at other schools and it’s not the same. Skidmore had more smokers than others, but not as bad as Bard.
Smoking is probably why I won’t be going to Bard because I know I could never fit in. Too bad because I loved the school. Visited two times just to make sure. Smoking was just as bad the second time.</p>
