Top 6 Smith College Dining Halls

We are lucky at Smith College to have many dining halls to choose from. Naturally, each Smithie has their own preference of dining halls and there's always at least one they tend to go to most of the time. I interviewed a few Smithies and here are a few of their top favorites:

1. Lamont

Lamont came out on top! So many Smithies adore Lamont, particularly because of its architecture. Its windows are a winner, providing students with beautiful views of the campus while they eat lunch.


2. Northrop/Gillett

Northrop and Gillett, located on Elm Street, are known for their vegan and vegetarian food. Smithies like the decor, coziness and special plates they use to serve the food. The school's large vegan/vegetarian population finds what they need here.


3. Comstock/Wilder

Comstock and Wilder are the Asian-themed dining halls. Though located in the Quad and a long trek from many houses on-campus, Smithies come in large crowds for Noodle Bowl Night, Stir Fry Night and Vietnamese Pho. (An ex-worker says they have the best chocolate chip cookies).


4. Cutter/Ziskind

Everyone has mixed reviews from Cutter/Ziskind. Some like its modern, contemporary look, while others liken it to a jail's cafeteria. Either way, it's almost always packed during lunch and dinner. It's also the only place on-campus where you can eat Halal and Kosher food.


5. Hubbard

The old home of Julia Child is a crowd-pleaser. Known on-campus as the place to get "healthy options," Hubbard is the place to be if you care about your health and eating good food. It's also considered the place with the best desserts for those of us who have a sweet tooth.


6. Chapin

Chapin Grab-and-Go is extremely popular at lunch, as we are very busy college students who need to eat lunch on-the-go. An ex-worker tells us that they also have the best brownies. When they do serve dinner, it would be best to sit by the windows overlooking Chapin Lawn for the perfect dining experience.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
