Smith is a women's liberal arts college in Northhampton, MA. The town itself, and the campus are very well-known as having a very large lesbian community and being very LGBT-friendly, progressive, etc. That is what leaves many of us scratching our heads a bit over a student who would go there, then feel like she needs to create some sort of sanctuary for straight students. If someone is going to feel out-of-place among LGBT folks, then Smith is probably not their ideal campus.

If you're interested in reading a book that gives a pretty thorough (fictional but presumably based on the author's real experiences) account of being a student at Smith, you might want to check out Commencement by J.Courtney Sullivan.
