Reason #17 You Should Visit
Paradise Pond
For Parents & Families
Choosing a college is one of the biggest decisions parents work through with their children. To find the right fit, you’ll want to ask questions: Will the college offer intellectual challenge? Will the faculty take the time to mentor? Are the facilities top-notch? Is the campus and surrounding area welcoming and safe?
And while selecting a college is the first step, naturally you’re wondering what comes after college, too. For more than a century, Smith graduates have emerged prepared to lead lives of distinction. Alumnae cite the skills and abilities honed by a Smith education as crucial to the personal and professional success they experience.
