Adventure

Wild at Heart

Paul Smith\'s is an idyllic outpost, a year-round academic paradise for students who want something different. (Where else do you learn canoe safety your first week at college or see your residence hall listed in the National Register of Historic Places?)

  • Only at Paul Smith's

    We're the United States with a student-run sawmill, a Biathlon range, a lumberjack sports arena, a 25km Nordic ski trail system outside the gym, and over 14,000 acres ripe with possibilities.

  • Adventure starts here but it's a gateway to something larger.”
