Why choose Smith Physics?

I’m thinking about applying to Smith and I want to be a physicist, but I don’t know if it’s the right place for me. Would you please tell me more about why this is a good physics department?

Below are the answers from several alums regarding why one should choose Smith College physics.

Alexis (Class of 2006): The department is incredibly supportive. One of the things I loved while there (and grew to appreciate even more so afterwards) is the professors genuinely care that you’re learning the material; they went above and beyond what they needed to do to ensure we understood the material. I enjoyed working on my research with Professor Pfabe. Also, my classmates while I was there were phenomenal: incredibly intelligent, multi-interested, fun, and generous people who were always willing to help.

Emily (Class of 2006): The enthusiasm the department radiates is contagious! The faculty is dedicated to creating a learning environment that is both challenging and fun. All the majors supported one another both in their pursuits whether inside or outside the classroom, this support continues after graduation. My research experiences with Nalini Easwar was truly unique because I was completely immersed in what it meant to do scientific research as an undergraduate. A highlight was presenting my research at national conferences. My education and research experiences prepared me very well for graduate school.
