It’s a college. What do you think?
Have you found the Smith by Smithies tumblr site? (Not sure if I’m allowed to link to it.) There is quite a bit of info there and you can post questions.
Some people go to parties, both on and off campus; others don’t. Most houses organize parties and other house get-togethers throughout the year, including a weekly tea. Groups of friends will often hold smaller room parties. You can find out about other colleges’ parties through Facebook events or friends. There’s a weekend crafting night called Smith To-Do that’s pretty popular. The Smith Student Events Committee (SEC) organizes a weekly movie night with a nice mix of classics and new releases. Lots of performing arts shows at Smith, in Northampton (at the Academy of Music), and at other colleges in the consortium. Six Flags is a 30 minute drive away, Hampshire Mall is a 15 minute drive and a 20 minute bus ride away, and Holyoke Mall is a 20 minute drive away. When the weather is nice people go hiking and/or biking on nearby trails. Northampton has lots of yummy restaurants.
