[quote=Anonymous]I posted earlier but waant to add -- the residential environment really varies by college and one major variable to consider is the type of housing most people choose. At Smith, many (most?) students live in large houses which creates much more of a house-specific community, similar to a fraternity or sorority without the Greek aspect. At my college, most students lived in more typical dorms but there were quite a few who lived in special interest housing or in frats/sororities. I ended up kind of jealous of those people because of that community, but also I liked having my "own" space and we were much more likely to get a single in a traditional dorm.  I also lived off campus for two summers and found that to be fun, but SUPER messy (not me, I worked 4 jobs and was rarely around) and an almost more stereotypical "animal house" type experience. At one of those houses, our fridges were stocked with only lite beer and jello shots, and a few bananas.

But tl, dr-- the Smith "house" type environment is very different from the big dorm experience. [/quote]
