Typical New England

It's sunny weather most of the time, but that doesn't mean it isn't cold. However, the dorms are not too far from classes in general, so it isn't really a problem. If you like snow, you'll love it here! When it snows, smithies love going outside to ice skate on the pond, have snowball fights, or make snow sculptures. When the weather does turn nice, it's a lovely campus to walk around.

It's New England. What Do You Expect?1

Yes, Smith College is in the heart of Western Massachusetts. This means we get snow. I've always lived in New England so I love the winter months but for students from warmer climates, the colder months here are something to get used to.

Typical New England Weather

humid summer and cold snowy/rainy winter, but spring and fall are PERFECT. the weather is far better fall semester than spring semester. it could be a lot worse - the weather's even more severe in the midwest. but if you really can't handle snow or cold for long periods of time, like, if that's actually a dealbreaker for you, then you probably shouldn't come to school here.
