Reunion Travel & What to Bring

Plan Your Travel

Mark your calendar for May 15-18, 2025.  To enjoy the fullness of this milestone weekend, plan to arrive Thursday May 15 at 4:00pm, when reunion check-in opens at Seeyle Hall, and to leave Sunday May 18 at 1:00pm, check-out time for alums staying in houses on campus. 

Parking

Wondering whether parking will be available?  Yes, parking will be available on campus, first come, first served.  Smith has a parking garage on West Street that alumnae may use.  All parking spaces marked in white lines are available for visitors.  Spaces marked in colored lines are reserved for service and emergency vehicles.  Smith now has six electric vehicle-charging stations, useable for two hours.

Ride Sharing

If you plan on driving, does your car have room for passengers?  Looking for a ride to or from campus?  Smith no longer supports a ride board, and yet our class Facebook group is a natural place to reach out for ride share options. If you have ride offers or requests, please post them on our class Facebook page, Smith College Class ’75. To join the Facebook group, email class digital coordinator Andrea (Andi) Acker Strone at andrea.strone@gmail.com. If you prefer not to join the Facebook group, Andi can post your ride offer or request.

What to Bring

 If you’re staying on campus, please remember Smith houses do not offer hotel-level amenities! The College will provide a washcloth, towel, sheets, pillowcase, pillow, and a light blanket. Rooms are furnished and clean. Room keys will not be provided, so please leave your valuables at home. Closets do not have locks or hangers.  Rooms have one overhead light, poor lighting for reading.
