Smith Hall Reviews

Smith has the Honors RAP. It was a clean, quiet place to Come back to after partying in Libby.

Overall a good dorm, probably one of the best on campus!

Pros:

Good location (on main campus, lots of amenities, really pretty spot)

Resident Parking nearby if you have a permit

Single rooms (attached to a double with a shared private bathroom) available

Air conditioning (lots of CU’s dorms don’t have it)

Newer building

Not much noise

Plenty of common areas

Large rooms

Cons:

Not enough laundry machines, and they’re expensive ($1.25 each for washer and dryer)

Difficult to leave by car during rush hour

Has a weird locking schedule—you have to go through the main entrance after 8 PM.

Kitchen is well stocked with some niche supplies (like a stand mixer) but lacks some basic equipment (like a strainer).

Smith is really great small community. They have little events with flock leaders and groups to help you get to know people. It’s pretty close to the C4C (main dining hall), and the planetarium is nearby.

In terms of location, it’s pretty far from main campus. Depending on what you would like, that may be too far for you. Personally, I loved coming “home” at the end of the day, and how peaceful it was.
