Did you know that women who attend women's colleges:
Are more successful in careers; that is, they tend to hold higher positions, are happier, and earn more money.
Constitute more than 20% of women in Congress, and 30% of a Business Week list of rising women stars in Corporate America, yet only represent 2% of all female college graduates.
Report greater satisfaction than their coed counterparts with their college experience in almost all measures - academically, developmentally, and personally.
Continue toward doctorates in math, science and engineering in disproportionately large numbers.
Develop measurably higher levels of self-esteem than other achieving women in coeducational institutions.
Score higher on standardized achievement tests.
Tend to major in traditionally male disciplines, like the sciences, in greater numbers.
Pursue advanced degrees at a much higher rate than women who attend co-educational institutions. In fact, women's college graduates are more than twice as likely to earn doctoral degrees and complete professional degrees such as law or medicine.

Smith is part of a five college consortium that includes Mt. Holyoke, Amherst, and Hampshire Colleges, and the University of Massachusetts. Smith students may take classes and attend day or evening events at any of these schools, with buses running constantly between the five. In addition to being part of this rich educational and cultural environment, Smith is close enough to New York City (3 hours) and Boston (2 hours) to make day trips an enjoyable option.
Be sure to check the links page for more detailed information on Smith and Northampton.
