<p>^I don’t think you can judge too much from websites like that. Smith has it’s own version of a complaint website, it’s called The Daily Jolt, and it can get downright cruel sometimes thanks to the anonymous posting feature. People say all kinds of things on the internet, and they usually reflect a very minority opinion. It would be a mistake to take it as a representative sample. The Smith one might be less active because Wellesley doesn’t have a Jolt page. </p>
<p>I don’t know that you’ll find siginificant differences between the campuses in terms of “in your face” vs. “doing my thing” people. Then again, I can only speak for Smith and say that people there tend to live and let live. Like any community where you’re incorporating a lot of different kinds of people, there is occasionally friction. What I’ve appreciated about Smith is that when friction arises we deal with it in an open way, with the whole campus involved. We’re nothing if not constantly self-examining, seeking to improve, evolve, and grow. Our unofficial motto might be “a perennial blessing to the country and the world,” but in order to keep blooming we have to keep changing and growing.</p>
