Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts
Smith College is a small liberal-arts school tucked into the scenic hills of Pioneer Valley in western Massachusetts. Founded by a woman and with stand-out alumnae like Gloria Steinem, Julia Child, Nancy Reagan, Betty Friedan and Sylvia Plath, it's brimming with forward-thinking, intellectual females.

Smith College from the air!
Breathtaking, much? Western Massachusetts is something to see, especially in the fall when the trees are teeming with vibrant colors. But even when the snow blankets the ground for months and months, it still has that scenic New England thing going on.

Brand-Spankin' New Campus Center
They didn’t have a campus center in my day! No really, they didn’t. Our post office was separate from our bookstore was separate from anything remotely resembling a “campus center.” Now all of the above are brought under one roof. The cafe is something out of the future, there are several computer areas and meeting rooms, and man oh man, am I jealous!

Jakes Restrnt
17 King St, Northampton, MA 01060
Maybe Jakes is all about the “no frills dining,” but that doesn’t mean you won’t get some mouth-watering grub. Famous for its breakfast food, including gigantic pieces of French Toast, waffles and pancakes, it may be worth the walk downtown for a weekend meal.

Teapot Restaurant
116 Main St, Northampton, MA 01060
It’s inevitable that if you’re a college student, you will get Chinese food cravings. Luckily, Teapot is actually GOOD, and not the greasy take-out you may be used to. Additionally, there is a full Japanese menu with sushi and sashimi.

Fresh Pasta Company
249 Main St, Northampton, MA 01060
I had my first dinner out in Northampton at Fresh Pasta (well, I think I did…it was over 9 years ago!) and it was a great introduction to the area: fresh, warm, homemade pasta dishes in a nicely-lit and cozy atmosphere.

Northampton Coffee
269 Pleasant St, Northampton, MA 01060
Northampton Coffee is only a few years old and resembles a minimalist but trendy New York coffee shop, with less pretension. Oh, and the coffee is AMAZING. And I’m not just saying that because they make pretty designs on top. Pick up some grounds on the way out!

Woodstar Cafe
60 Masonic St, Northampton, MA 01060
Woodstar is much more than a coffee shop, so if you’re in need of a little more sustenance than a shot of caffeine, grab some lunch and baked goods while you’re at it. A cool interior and outdoor seating when weather permits to boot!

Faces
175 Main St Ste 2, Northampton, MA 01060
Faces is THE main retail temptation facing all Smith students. It’s filled with cushy chairs, fancy plates, clothing, quirky gifts, cards, books, jewelry and lots of other pretty things you didn’t know you needed! When those work-study checks come in, one must fight the urge to head straight to Faces.
