South Mountain Community College

What are the popular events and traditions at South Mountain Community College?

SMCC's public programming includes academic, cultural and community events rather than a single defining residential-campus tradition. Storytelling activities connected with the college's Storytelling Institute are a distinctive example of how instruction and public events can overlap.

Student life programming and cultural observances offer other occasions to gather outside class. Events change from term to term, so the current college calendar is the best guide to what is actually scheduled. Students interested in participating, rather than only attending, can ask student life staff whether clubs or student leaders help organize a particular event.

What are the student housing and dining options at South Mountain Community College?

South Mountain Community College does not provide college-owned or college-operated student housing. Students arrange their own living accommodations and should account for that expense when comparing attendance options.

There is no residence-hall placement process or residential meal plan to build into an SMCC application. Students who expect to spend long days on campus should check current food-service options and hours, which may differ from a university dining program. For many applicants, the larger planning questions are the cost of housing off campus, commuting time and whether class and service schedules work with both.
