Campus Life
Most of the college population lives on campus. Residence halls are divided by class. Freshmen halls include: Lydia Martin Smith Hall, Currier Hall, and Livermore Hall. Incoming transfer students are housed in Alumni Hall. Upper-classmen share Essex, Franklin, Lakeside, Saratoga, Upper St. Regis, and Lower St. Regis halls. Lambert House is women only. A new LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified "green" dorm for upper-classmen, Overlook Hall, is slated to open Fall 2011.
Wellness buildings include Clinton Hall for freshmen and Blum House and Hillside Hall for upper classmen.
Paul Smith's rural location lends itself to many campus based activities. Student directed clubs administrated under the Office of Student Activities include Fish and Game, Artisans' club, Outing club, Students for Environmental Action, Society of American Foresters, the Wildlife Society, WPSA (the campus' official radio station), Student Government Association, Whitewater Kayaking, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, Ski and Snowboard Club, Gaming club, BGLAD (bi-sexual, gay, lesbian, and their defenders), Honors club, and Wrestling club, among others.
The campus is located on Lower St. Regis Lake, students have a beach with lifeguard as well as docks and storage for canoes and kayaks.
The Lakeside Dining Hall is operated by Sodexo food service and does not serve any fare produced by the students in the culinary program. A bakery in Cantwell Hall opens a few days a semester to sell student produced baked goods.
