Date: Sep 25 2020 Major: (This Major's Salary over time) Overall a good experience and I would probably do it again. After I left I definitely had a better sense of myself and the kind of independence I wanted. Class effort depends on the teachers, but overall requires you have good writing and critical thinking skills. Professors are available to help and there are also free tutors and TAs and writing centers. Smith has lots of hidden opportunities for funding, so keep an eye out for those. The social justice scene is definitely intense and is one of the things I didn't enjoy. There were lots of strong and militant opinions that made campus sometimes feel very angry and aggressive. If you do go, do branch out of your house community early, take an exercise class, and be able to call people out on their bs.
