Why Paul Smith’s?   Paul Smith’s is located in the beautiful Adirondacks and even the frigid winters are worth all of the different opportunities to live and play outside.  The academics provide more practical and hands on experience than you will find in most other colleges which will be invaluable in the future.  This combination of subject matter and fun brings together the right kind of people to befriend and live with.
