Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

It is the mix of extracurriculars, academics, environment, and nurturing that leads Simmons women to enjoy their experience. The surprising amount of transfers into the College supports the claims of students. Students who have survived their first year, with all its ups and downs and acclimations, seem to be happy with their decision. Dix Scholars, the older undergraduates on campus, are welcomed just as much as students coming into school at the traditional age. Community is valued, and the support benefits all undergraduates. Close-knit relationships with faculty and instructors catapult students into their professions and evoke tears when it comes time to graduate and say good-bye.

Being in Boston provides professional opportunities for its students when it comes to picking internships and finding jobs after graduation. The urban environment fills a social gap that the absence of Greek life or men on campus could create. The winters pose a challenge to out-of-state students not used to the area’s rough and extremely cold Nor’easters. The weather is not the only environmental challenge. Though the all-women’s environment often takes getting used to, students are generally happy about their decision and excited by the chances of involvement and leadership that not being in a coeducational situation provides. Students at neighboring institutions often share horror stories about being just a number in their school’s eyes—this can’t be said about Simmons. This is not your typical college experience. Students come here to study and experiment with their identity, growing socially and academically. Simmons students don’t just come to school to party, but to become women.

I Love It

Simmons College is a great place to be. The faculty is very respectful and friendly. As long as your honest and respectful here, you will get the exact college experience your looking for! The students are very trusted here, which makes it able to make your own decisions in a respectful and reasonable way. Being an all girls school, the relationships I have developed here are lifelong and strong. Although Simmons College is very costly, I could not be happier anywhere else but here.

Gets Boring

The dining hall at first was awesome. After a while the meals became repetitive and there didnt seem to be that much of a variety. Simmons College has two dining halls, "The Fens" and "Bartol Hall" each have different types of foods to satisfy all students. The meal plans are also partially accepted at some of the surrounding schools such as Emmanuel, Wentworth, and MASSART
