<p>The combination of the single-sex and house system does indeed make Smith like one big sorority but without the ugly side effects of rush and judgments being made on the basis of looks, clothes, and/or money.</p>
<p>Hi everyone! I’ll share my Open Campus experience as promised. I had a wonderful time–everyone was so friendly, and the two classes that I attended were incredibly interesting/stimulating. My host also had 3 other prospies (she had a HUGE double and her roommate had moved out), and she had a bunch of her friends over to watch The Office, eat cookies, and answer all of our questions. Throughout the experience, I was so impressed by the supportive environment and the amount of resources available. Needless to say, I will be enrolling at Smith!</p>
<p>Congratulations on making a decision, Cygne, and on becoming a Smithie!</p>
<p>Cygne! YAY!! I’ve been watching this thread with fingers crossed!! </p>
<p>My daughter is a first-year Smithie. I can’t add anything more to what’s already been said. You’ve seen it and experienced it. I’m so glad you chose Smith.</p>
<p>The best is yet to come. Just watch.</p>

<p>Congratulations, Cygne. May you have four fabulous years.</p>
<p>Congratulations and thank you, Cygne, for sharing your open campus experience.</p>
<p>I have also decided where to go: Smith! Hope to see you on campus this fall!</p>
<p>That’s wonderful, miandou! I hope that we will meet up. :)</p>
<p>Yay miandou and Cygne!! I too am going to be a Smithie :D</p>
<p>Welcome, miandou, Cygne, and kokakola!</p>
<p>You’ll love it here…I’m almost done with my first two years, and I am SO sad that I don’t have more time.</p>
<p>I’m going to Smith too! Hooray!</p>
<p>Congratulations to all you new Smithies!! In this Smithie mom’s humble opinion, you’ve made a wise choice!</p>
<p>Congratulations, girls, and just remember to make the most of every instant, because time really flies. I can’t believe that my daughter will be a junior in a few months…</p>
