There’s very little that you could read that would prepare you for college life, unfortunately. Though there are plenty of guidebooks out there that profess to be everything college students need to know.

It might be interesting to learn something about Smith. Our former president Deborah Ker Conway (not sure if that’s how you spell it) has written a couple of really interesting books about her road from childhood in the Australian outback to president of Smith.

You won’t need a down jacket right away. When you arrive it will be hot and very humid, so make sure you have some summer clothes. The first thing you will want to buy will be a fan since the dorm rooms are not air conditioned and they can get very hot. For the fall, it’s good to have rain boots (you can buy them at Smith) and a fall jacket, something warm, but not a heavy duty down item. It usually doesn’t get really cold until right before finals.
