Computers at Smith College

A-

Printing Is the Problem, Not Computer Quality or Availability

There are a lot of public computers on-campus, and there's usually a lot available - the ones in the libraries fill up quickly but there's a bunch in the other academic buildings too that aren't as commonly used. The only downside is getting charged for printing - it adds up quickly because Smith professors assign TONS of reading! Also, most of the school computers are PCs, which is important to remember your own personal computer is a Mac. If it's really impossible for you to have a personal computer you could make it work, but it really is better to have one here. Wireless access can be kind of iffy in residential houses.

Weather at Smith College

C+

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.
