Smith College

Smith College http://www.smith.edu/ is one of the two women's colleges in the Five College Consortium. Located in cute, small and funky downtown Northampton, the college sports a gorgeous park setting, a botanical garden, an engineering school and a very liberal reputation. Application deadlines are November 15 for Early Decision, January 2 for Regular Decision. Standardized test scores are optional. International students must provide SAT, ACT, TOEFL, or IELTS scores.
There is something very appealing about Smith College; maybe the fact that all the women I saw were laughing and smiling when they walked across campus, maybe the beautiful setting next to the charming town with its many ethnic restaurants and interesting little stores, maybe the fact that my first enounter with the admissions staff was a long friendly conversation. Smith gives clear information on financial aid on its website. International students cannot expect special consideration for financial aid.
Smith has an exchange program with the Universities of Hamburg and of Hamburg Harburg. As you can well imagine, the huge Hamburg University is quite a contrast to a liberal arts college like Smith, but your fees pay for the following: $23,930 per semester includes orientation, tuition,
tutors, academic advising and course selection
assistance, housing, stipend for full board and living
expenses, medical emergency coverage, excursions
and cultural events, public transport Semesterticket.
Required health insurance fees are posted on the
Smith in Hamburg website. http://www.smith.edu/studyabroad/hamburg_flyer.pdf
