This will give you time for a campus tour, a class visit, a conversation with a professor and perhaps a meal, as well as an interview. Joining a campus tour is a great way to get a quick overview of Smith. Whenever the college is in session, volunteer student guides will show you around and answer questions on everything from academics to the dating scene. Tours usually last about an hour, but can be longer or shorter as your schedule and interests dictate. While tour reservations aren't necessary, it is always advisable to call in advance to confirm tour times.
Scheduling is a bit more complicated close to holidays.
If a student guide is not available, you can still tour on your own, armed with a map of the campus and a written guide. In addition to taking a tour of the campus, you can learn more about Smith and ask specific questions in a group information session. Sessions, which are conducted by admission counselors, are offered throughout the year, except from February 1 to March 15. A personal interview is highly recommended. The Office of Admission staff will be happy to arrange an interview appointment for you.
