The need for a nuanced perspective in the global classroom

How important is it to your success as a student in a Smith classroom, to be American?

Of the million things I thought about before I came to Smith, this was something I took for granted. I assumed that a college education is global, no matter where you go, and that’s exactly what I wanted. I believe a global education is valuable, and it encourages a greater understanding of world problems. And that has been my experience, to some extent. 

However, I was forced to think harder about this as I started to peruse the course catalog more intently and took more classes.
