Houses, Not Dorms

With 40 unique, self-governing houses on campus, living at Smith feels a lot like coming home. Most students choose to live on campus for the duration of their college career, which means you get to live with people from all four class years, enjoying timeless traditions like Friday afternoon tea.

Reasons to Celebrate Smith

We’re engineering a better world.

“All eyes were on us,” recalls Caitlin Shea Butler ’04, one of the first graduates of Smith’s Picker Engineering Program, which was endowed by Jean Sovatkin Picker ’42 and her husband. Since that inaugural class, the number of Smith alum engineers has grown from 19 to nearly 600. Whether in AI or aerospace, they’re transforming the field—one where women still make up less than 20% of the workforce.
