We asked Harper...
What are the academics like at your school?
Yes, my professors know my name. I also stay in touch with my professors on a regular basis. I love Smith academically, although it can get pretty insane at times. My favorite classes thus far have been (North African Politics with Greg White Seminar, Dance classes, Political Theory of the 19th Cent. Arts and Human Rights in Latin America (Amherst), etc
studying: Most students spend their time doing just that, studying.
competitiveness: HIGH
Intellectual conversations: My personal experience is that most students at Smith have a hard time balancing their social and their academic lives. So, most often than not, you will find students discussing their lack of sleep/stress over a good intellectual conversation.
Unique Class: Voices for Actors ( I LOVE IT!!!!!!)
Government dept: I really love my major and the professors. There is a reason why Government is one of the most popular majors at Smith. I have spent time with my professors outside of class and I continue to do so.
Academic requirements: I think they are just fine
