Hey all! I came across a list ranking college campuses by their aesthetic appeal and Smith College was pretty high up on that list. I haven't had a chance to visit the campus myself due to the pandemic. Can anyone who's been there confirm if Smith College really is as attractive as they say?
Smith College, located in Northampton, Massachusetts, is indeed frequently cited for its gorgeous campus. Built in the midst of New England's natural beauty, the college spans over 147 acres and features a combination of historic and modern architecture. It's also home to the Botanic Garden of Smith College, which adds to the campus's appeal with a wide range of plants and flowers spread across multiple gardens and greenhouses.
However, beauty can be quite subjective. What one person finds appealing may not resonate with someone else. The campus of Smith College does have a certain charm - it has tree-lined paths, scenic views, and beautiful buildings. It's tucked into a charming small town with a vibrant arts scene and plenty of outdoor activities close by.
Ultimately, though, it's best to take virtual tours or visit in person when it's safe to do so. What's more important than a campus's aesthetic is how you feel about its atmosphere, its students and faculty, and the opportunities it offers for you to learn and grow.
