When you think of Smith College, what do you think of? Is it the brave activists? Is it the beautiful Paradise Pond where everyone goes to unwind in the nice weather? If those aren't two of the things you think of, have no fear! This list spells out everything there is to know about Smith. Every Smithie will be able to recognize all the letters of this alphabet:
A - Activism.
We fight for what we believe in!
Recommended for you
B - Botanic Gardens.
What's better than going to see the bulb shows?
C - CC Cafe.
My mouth is watering just thinking about their chicken tender wrap.
D - Dining Dollars
We only get 25 dollars, but that's enough for at least 4 chicken tender wraps.
E - English
It's the only required part of our Smith education. One sill little writing intensive, and then we are home free to take whatever we choose.
F - Ford Hall 
Ford Hall. The building for sciences and engineering is like a study palace. It stays open all night long. As long as you're a science student, or you're friends with a science student, this can be your humble abode. It even has a shower!
G - Grab And Go
They have everything to help your busy lunch time fix. And if they don't... at least there is peanut butter and jelly.
H - Houses
What's a dorm? At Smith, we all live in houses. Most of us have our own rooms, and the house community is incredible. We love our HP's and Res Life. And no, we are all not just one giant sorority.
I - ITT and Ainsworth Gym
J - J Term / Drunk Term
The best time of the year. When you can come back to Smith and actually relax and enjoy everything the college has to offer without the pressure of classes. And maybe have a drink or too with your friends.
K - Kathy (President McCartney)
She's a frig, and we love her (Most of the time). You know it, and I know it.
L - LGBTQ
"The L Word," anyone?
M - Mountain Day
The only day at Smith that I know of that causes actual riots.
N - Neilson Library
During finals, this place is open until 2 A.M. and I just think that is incredible.
O - Otelia Cromwell Day
In honor of Otelia Cromwell, Smith's first African American graduate, there is a whole day of lectures and events. Afternoon classes are canceled, too. That rules.
P - Paradise Pond
A place of peace and serenity for Smithies. This place truly makes our campus great.
Q - Quad
It's beautiful in it's set up, but at night it turns into a battle field of raging Smithies running around the quad. We always see that domino's car driving through come 2 A.M. on a Sunday morning.
R - Rally Day
Seniors wear funny hats and their graduation robes so they can find out their commencement speaker and eat free snacks in the C.C.
S - Sylvia Plath/Sophia Smith
The two great "S" women that Smith is known for.
T - Theater
Smith's Mendenhall is newly refurbished and hosts on so many performances it makes my head spin. Oh, and Josten Library is nice, too.
U - Umbrellas
Because it's not always sunny in Northampton.
V - Viola Davis
Because the magnificent star of "How to Get Away With Murder" will be here at Smith on 3/2 giving a talk.
W - Wifi
Is it e-d-u roam or edu-roam? The world may never know.
X - (Job) X
I know I know. Job X, doesn't start with an X. But where else would you find all of your on-campus and off-campus jobs? This place needed adding to the list.
Y- Yearly Tuition
Shhh. Shhh. Just cry it out. Everything will be okay.
Z - Zipcar
Before I got to Smith, I never even heard of a Zipcar. But there I was first year, renting a Zipcar to drive to the Holyoke Mall. Smith has so many wonderful resources for us. I love Zipcars, to be honest.
