<p>I know this forum is kind of dead, but whatever...</p>
<p>Hello! I am a high school senior from NJ who has narrowed down my college list to two schools that I'm pretty conflicted between: Smith and Sarah Lawrence. I am interested in literature, creative writing, and journalism, so having courses and opportunities available in these areas in college is important to me. I've outlined what I see as the pros and cons of each, but any other input would be really helpful. Thanks!</p>
<p>Sarah Lawrence-
Pro:
-Really great writing program
-Close contact w/ professors
-Proximity to NYC (Internships, etc.)
-Coed (despite skewed gender ratio)
-Beautiful campus
-Closer to home
Con:
-No majors --> effects on future employment?
-Small Endowment</p>
<p>Smith-
Pro:
-Really strong, well-rounded academics
-Strong campus community/sense of sisterhood
-Better facilities
-I really liked Northampton
-Five-College Consortium
-More well-known (I know this is shallow, but still)
Con:
-I'm really unsure about the fact that it's a women's college
-Geographic isolation</p>
