http://www.smith.edu/
Smith is a part of the "five college" circle
in the Northampton, MA area. The five colleges are: Smith, Amherst, Mt.
Holyoake, Hampshire College, and the University of Massachusetts. Qualified
students may take courses from each.
Excerpts from its promo:
Since its founding in 1871, Smith College has
provided women of high ability and promise an education of uncompromising
quality. A world-class faculty of scholars are fully engaged with their
students’ intellectual development, and an open curriculum encourages each
student to explore many fields of knowledge. Mentors for scholarship, leadership
and service, across all spectrums of endeavor, allow Smith students to observe
different models of achievement, then set their own course with conviction.
As the nation’s largest liberal arts college for
women, since 1871 Smith offers a unique breadth of resources. Outstanding
academic facilities, on a New England campus noted for its beauty, are
complemented by a supportive housing system that fosters self-reliance and
builds life-long friendships.
