Take the Smile Test

To get a feel for the campus atmosphere when touring colleges, Kate Songer ‘19 gave each school a point when a current student returned her smile, offered help, or held a door open for her. The “Smile Test” helped her experience the welcoming St. Lawrence community on her visit, and we encourage you to try it for yourself.
