My D is also looking into both schools and has found Smith to be a better fit. Really…isn’t that all that matters? They’re both great school with great reputations. To say one is harder than the other is not fair. We have visited both of them, and have found Smith (particularly in sciences and dance) to be a better choice for my D. Northampton is awesome, can’t do much better than that! FWIW, we also found the campus at Smith to be much better maintained and cleaner, and the dorms (houses) to be a great touch. Again, both are great schools and great choices. Where do you feel more at home is what matters? I’m sorry to hear that ecape did not have more of a challenge at Smith. What was your major/minor?
