[quote=Anonymous]Smith alum here. From the mid 90s, so take everything I say with a grain of salt! I do think there are material differences between Smith and Mount Holyoke. Smith has more of an urban feel because of its interconnection with Northampton. My sense was also that Smith is more closely aligned with Amherst academically and so if your daughter wants to take advantage of the consortium, she’ll have a very easy time academically between those two institutions. I probably took 30% of my classes at Amherst because they were even smaller than those at Smith and were more narrow, which interested me. Truthfully, I didn’t love Smith. For me, a large coed school would have been better suited (Smith was/is small). But, Smith, was the “best school” I got into and, therefore, that’s where I was sent.  In the end, what mattered most about my education there was the network. Time and time again, I’ve been able to secure employment opportunities off the grid through that direct supportive network of well-placed women.[/quote]
