Helpful Information
当心
Be there for them even though you can’t be here for them. Many parents and family members enjoy sending care packages to their student—especially during finals or other high-stress times—to provide some comfort and a sweet pick-me-up (or two!). We’ve compiled a short list of local vendors (including our very own bookstore!) and options for sending a hug to your favorite Smithie.
Academic 服务
Regardless of your student’s academic interests, Smith has the resources and 太ls necessary to help them thrive. With several tutoring centers on campus, staffed by both faculty members and peer advisers, each student receives the support they need, when they need it—whether that’s group study sessions or individualized tutoring appointments.

Is the Area Safe?
Smith and Northampton are significantly safer than most medium- or large-sized cities. Still, we are extremely cautious. 学生 are briefed on personal safety and have access to self-defense courses. Houses are always locked and have intercoms for identifying visitors. We offer nighttime escorts and shuttle buses, emergency alarm boxes across campus, and our security officers patrol 24 hours a day.
We have a campuswide emergency notification system to quickly communicate news to the entire community, and 校园安全 coordinates responses to all emergency situations.
