Hi! I got into Smith ED and my future roommate and I are looking at housing. We know we definitely want to live in the quad and we were wondering what the difference is between the east and west quad? Also, do the houses in the quad have pretty similar environments or are they distinct? Do we pick housing and roommates pretty soon? Thanks for all your help!!!
Hello! East Quad and West Quad are differentiated just by the placement of the houses. East Quad consists of Cushing, Emerson, Jordan, King, and Scales. West Quad consists of Comstock, Gardiner, Morrow, Wilder, and Wilson. I live in Wilson House! I would say that the quad houses are somewhat similar in that they tend to be louder than other houses on campus, but otherwise each house has its own personality. I’m not sure the exact date housing forms get sent out, but it should be in the near future so keep an eye out for it! Good luck, and welcome to Smith (and maybe the quad)!
