Houses, Not Dorms

With 40 unique, self-governing houses on campus, living at Smith feels a lot like coming home. Most students choose to live on campus for the duration of their college career, which means you get to live with people from all four class years, enjoying timeless traditions like Friday afternoon tea together.

Reasons to Celebrate Smith

Real feminism includes every voice.

Founded under President Ruth Simmons, Meridians: feminism, race, transnationalism was the first journal to focus on scholarship by and about women of color. Now celebrating its 25th anniversary, Meridians continues to publish peer-reviewed work that blends academic rigor and creativity. “We’ve moved with the times and contributed to changing the times,” says editor Ginetta E. B. Candelario ’90, a professor of sociology and of Latin American and Latino/a studies at Smith.

Isa Otero ’26

Theatre major

“It’s not uncommon that you’ll see a dancer featured on a Smith College stage, only to discover that their major is quantitative economics. That’s what drew me to Smith—the possibilities for students to pursue their varied passions, drawing strong connections between seemingly opposing fields.”
