The Smith Game

ticklemepink · May 10, 2006, 12:02am

ROFL

Actually just discovered a writing professional on campus.... from, where else? Middlebury.

There is a difference- they don't look over final paper EXAM but if it's just a end-of-term paper, then it's okay. But this paper I'm writing isn't an exam, just your plain old seminar paper.

Got it, incoming first years? If you're not sure exactly what kind of paper it is or going to be treated as- ASK. ASK. ASK. Because you'll love those professionals at the Center that you'll want to use them for everything but at the same time, it'd be a shame to be kicked out of Smith because you love them too much.

Of course, half this list should probably be edited out because parents who don't actually attend Smith don't have accurate opinions, LOL.

Financing Your Future"/Women and Financial Independence seminars ]]

Do it for the lunches if nothing else. The College Club, yum, caters the grub.

roadlesstraveled · May 10, 2006, 4:28pm

Even the parent's comment are true! ]]

The Smith attributes a few parents listed can be found via the Smith web site, brochures, college recruitment video, campus tour, alumnae mag, admission conversations, 1st yr orientation speeches by the Carol Christ and Deans, newsletter, books such as, The Hidden Ivies, by Howard and Mathew Greene, The Sophia online college paper, Facebooks of current students, the Jolt, et cetera-- (careful with the Jolt, you'll need a bit of discernment to separate the flames from the facts) My favorite total fallacy is the post that states Starbucks sucks :)

This exercise is a good study for prospective students and their parents. A plethora of information can be gleaned before a visit ever takes place, or one takes as gospel the various opinions floated via the numerous message boards on the web. The importance of talking to as many students and recent alumnae as possible can't be stressed enough. Do an overnight, but be very aware various houses have different types of students and feel

# 42 a)---Visit the lake (aka the pond), smell the flowers, and, if the wind is right, the abundant aromas emanating from the arboretum. Picture yourself leisurely floating in a boat on a beautiful afternoon or moonlight night with a special friend, glass of wine in hand.

<h1>42 b) In the winter enjoy skating on the pond surrounded by the tranquil peace of the snow blanked surroundings--or at night the stars and moon shimmering off the ice.</h1>

Making progress--i've moved from in the pond to on it. ;)

When the visiting the campus, dump the parents, hang out in the CC and talk to random students. They'll spew forth a wealth of info they would never talk about in front of an adult. No surprise there. ;)

The pledges have to get 50 signatures in totality on their posterior (le butt) before they are allowed back on the bus to return to Harvard
