I lived at home with my parents in a neighboring town when attending Simmons University. I loved being able to drive to school and parking was never an issue. Simmons is generous with financial aid and grants for transfer students. Classes are small and intimate, so relationships are built between students and professors. The campus is small so walking from building to building never takes long. The campus food is good compared to other universities. There are tons of resources available for the very diverse student body. Groceries and other necessities are within walking distance of both the academic and residential campus. There is a fitness facility neighboring the residential campus that offers group fitness classes as well as a pool. There is much to do socially, as Simmons is right up the street from Fenway Park, many restaurants, and many other universities.
Simmons has done a great job during the pandemic to ensure the safety of their students and make sure they are still able to reach their full potential. At the beginning of the 2020 fall semester, Simmons sent out technology grants for not only computers/laptops but also for wifi costs. The faculty at Simmons were very understanding of the different circumstances that each individual was facing and made adjustments accordingly. The professors were still sure to make the one on one connections with students and make sure that they are understanding the material through anonymous surveys. The entire campus continues to stride for the students safety and inclusivity.
All of my courses are done online for their FNP program until my Clinical's. That makes it super flexible for me to be able to still work and continue my education. Being a young widowed mother of twins, I still need to be able to provide for my boys. This program absolutely allows me that flexibility. The Professors are approachable and easy to talk to. I can’t say enough about this program!
