[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Smith has a more beautiful campus, better town college town, and better national name recognition than Davidson. Davidson is a bit odd in how southern it's felt to me. Even US News came around and ranked Smith ahead of Davidson. Honestly, unless the coed and weather factors matter a lot, I'd pick Smith (though I'm a man).[/quote]

Agree to disagree. Visited both schools with my daughter pre-covid and we both preferred the Davidson campus and surrounding area to Smith and Northampton. The Davidson campus would fit well anywhere in New England and the Town itself is a small but very cute, safe college town about 30 minutes outside of Charlotte. Plus the warmer climate and the availability of the 100+ acre Lake Campus on immense Lake Norman provides recreational opportunities students can't get in Western MA. Davidson for years had been ranked in the top 10 in USNWR and currently is slotted next to Smith in their rankings. Davidson's acceptance rate was below 15% this year while Smith was at 19% so both are tough admits.  Around my circle, both schools are well known and I dare say Davidson certainly is better known in the general population because of Steph Curry is an alum. [/quote]
