Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Simmons is growing, and because of that, improvements are rapidly being made to campus facilities. Future plans continue to please alumnae and students. A $250-million-rebuilding program has modernized the classic Main College Building, with a new College center, conference center, computer kiosks, and the updating of classrooms. The School of Management building recently opened, as well. Current students are glad to have the walkways free again and to not have to listen to the sounds of drills during lectures. The One Palace Road building is home to a high-tech media resource center, the Career Education Center, Writing Center, various offices, and many comfortable classrooms. Underground parking is available for staff under this highly modern addition.

Aesthetically, the Main Campus Building has maintained its classic architecture—the brass weathervane still acts as a beacon and object of pride. The main staircase is worn in the places generations of women have ascended. The small scale of the campus ensures no building can be forgotten, and grounds and cleaning staff work to keep the buildings clean and the grass green. The Holmes sports center houses many stress-releasing pieces of sports equipment, and students come here to seek refuge on the treadmill, in the swimming pool, or on the track.

Science Facilities Blow

The library is great, the MGMT building is brand new and the Main college building is generally nice and renovated with only a few creepy classrooms and bathrooms. Since our library is so nice, students from neighboring colleges usually come in and use it which is such a pain since they don't pay to use our facilities. My grade C is because our science facilities are so horrible that it is embarrassing. Student tours only go to the nursing flow which was renovated and the chem floor got some new renovations due to health and safety hazards but it is overall pathetic. Since Simmons in the bio-medical mecca of the US and entire world, you would think that our science building wouldn't resemble a dungeon. For some reason, people in the management/business program need a multi-million dollar building to talk to each other but we can't run labs, experiments or even have proper demos because our labs are from the 1950's and don't meet safety requirements and they are broke. Awesome. Emmanuel has an amazing science center....just saying.

The Library Is Fantastic

Being a College of the Fenway, Simmons College has the best library compared to its surrounding schools. The resources they offer, and the library staff exceeds expectations. There is always someone there to help, and you can always find what your looking for.

Favorite Things To Do

If you are looking for something to do on campus, try catching an afternoon lecture or sipping a cup of coffee in Java City. On the Residence Campus, students enjoy the sun on the quad or watching a show on the big screens in the Quadside Café.

Sun on the quad, curl up with a book in the library, and wade in the hot tub in the Holmes Sports Center
