Why Paul Smith’s? I chose Paul Smiths College because they had a major that fit with what I want to do later in life and I was interested in some of the sports offered, most of which I had not done until I was here at Paul Smiths. I also liked the location of the college in the heart of the Adirondacks. Like they say “It’s all about the Experience” and since I’ve come here to Paul Smiths I haven’t been disappointed.
