Fenway Dining

Since the Simmons dorms are right along Brookline Avenue and next to Boyston Street, it's also where the restaurants and entertainment is located. I enjoyed eating at UFood Grill,which is a healthy burger and smoothie place, and Berryline where it sells frozen yogurt! Since Simmons is around this Fenway area, we get discounts and can use our meal points!

Local Atmosphere at Simmons College

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!

Being under-21, there are plenty of frat parties to attend. Harvard usually throws the best, but MIT, BU, Northeastern, BC, and Tufts are close and easy to get to in the city.. boys aren't too far away girls! There is always something going on everyday of the week, whether it is a baseball game or a marathon. Over-21 has a great party seen, great bars, like club cure, splash, rumor, estate and much more.. but it never gets boring.

Newbury street has amazing food and shopping if its in your budget, and the pru and copley are not too far away from there.. if you want the normal mall experience go to cambridgeside -- just a close t ride. everything is at easy access just 1.70 for a t-ride and your in the other part of the city.

Boston has everything to offer for young woman, at simmons you can focus your attention on education during class time and get ready to meet some sexy stud later that night -- its never boring.

Campus living: the housing is not the best for 1st and 2nd year students but upper-classmen do get lucky! But youre right in the city. public safety is great they dont really WANT you to get in trouble they just want to make sure youre not doing anything stupid... just a warning everytime they see you! -- just be smart and safe!

Campus Strictness at Simmons College

Quite Lenient

Public Safety and Res Life would like students to believe that they have strict punishments for misbehaving students, but this simply isn't the case. While they do take rule breaking, such as underage drinking or illegal use of fire extinguishers (long story), seriously and they do well to scare the living s*** out of you if you're caught, you are usually let off will little more than a warning or academic probation.
