Residence Life

Life on campus is an integral part of the Smith experience. Here, students don’t live in traditional dorms, but one of 41 unique, self-governing house communities. Smith houses are home to students of all four class years, and introduce residents to people from various socioeconomic, racial, and cultural backgrounds. The Office of Residence Life is here to make Smith feel like your home away from home.
Every great college has its ghosts.
Smith lore is filled with spectral characters. Whether it’s the whispering woman who calls student houses in the middle of the night, the pair of doomed lovers who haunt the secret Sessions staircase, the crying infant in Chase, or the woman in white on the porch of Talbot, Smithies have plenty of reasons to leave the light on before turning in for the night.
