当心
Be there for them even though you can’t be here for them. Many parents and family members enjoy sending care packages to their student—especially during finals or other high-stress times—to provide some comfort and a sweet pick-me-up (or two!). We’ve compiled a short list of local vendors (including our very own bookstore!) and options for sending a hug to your favorite Smithie.
家庭取向
取向 isn’t just for new students! On move-in day—August 29, 2024—parents and families are encouraged to explore the campus and meet some of the staff and faculty who will help to shape their student’s college experience. 家庭 spend the morning with their students as they check in, move into their rooms, 吃午餐, and hear the first presidential address of the year. 在下午, while students are getting filled in on the essentials of campus and academic life, families can partake in walking tours or one of several sessions tailored to their curiosity or concerns from 2–5:30 p.m. For a full list of events and sessions open to families, please see the 家庭取向 schedule below:
The fall 2024 家庭取向 schedule will be posted in early August.

这个地区安全吗??
Smith and Northampton are significantly safer than most medium- or large-sized cities. Still, we are extremely cautious. 学生 are briefed on personal safety and have access to self-defense courses. Houses are always locked and have intercoms for identifying visitors. We offer nighttime escorts and shuttle buses, emergency alarm boxes across campus, and our security officers patrol 24 hours a day.
We have a campuswide emergency notification system to quickly communicate news to the entire community, and 校园安全 coordinates responses to all emergency situations.
