The alliance makes efforts to make students comfortable with their sexuality. Recent discussion has expanded to transgender students.
Political Activity
Political activity has been reinforced by the emergence of Simmons Votes, an organization developed to encourage student voting. Liberal and Democratic ideas are dominant.
Economic Status
While there is diversity in the economic status of Simmons’s student body, the cost of tuition and room and board directs the average students to be middle-class or upper-middle-class. Financial aid packages do open doors for those who don’t fit in these categories, so don’t fret too much. At Simmons, you will find students with no financial aid and the ability to shop on Boston’s Newbury Street without a care, as well as students balancing their course work with one or two part-time jobs. The contrast between the students spending their parent’s money versus their own on books and extracurricular activities creates an interesting mix.
Most Common Religions
Judaism, Catholicism, Bahai
Minority Clubs on Campus
There are several multicultural organizations on campus. Events are held to celebrate Asian, Black, and Latino history months. The Black Student Organization (BSO) is one of the strongest organizations on campus, sponsoring dances and poetry readings. The Asian Students Association is dedicated to welcoming all students to experience Asian culture.
