I was wildly disappointed with Simmons. It is very cliquey, and people are very quick to judge. There are almost no clubs besides affinity groups, and the social scene is awful, unless you’re willing to go to frats at other colleges (which are usually a 30 min walk away). The classes are WAY too easy (my freshman writing class spent a month teaching us how to write a five paragraph essay) and though i ended my first year with a 4.0 gpa the school still cut my financial aid in half for my sophmore year. Most dorms are bad with no ac or elevators, and the nice dorms are acquired through a lottery and hard to get. Sports ppl get priority registration for classes and its very hard to get into classes if you aren’t one. The food is also made with no care for students; i know muslims who were served pork in food that was marked safe, and have friends with allergies who were hospitalized because of mislabeling. almost every student hates it and express how they’re only there for the aid.
I am attending Simmons for the accelerated BSN/RN program. The school is beautiful, well maintained, and features many brand new buildings. The environment is supportive and very friendly, especially for students who identify as female. I find that they are a little disorganized with communication, but that might be program specific. I highly recommend Simmons.
this plays absolutely slays fr. Like I feel like I have really have found where I belong, academically, socially, and mentally. Honestly, the best place I could be and I know if I get good grades I will be able to get an amazing job or get into an amazing grad school. The professors are always willing to work and are the best!
