I just completed my first semester at Simmons and found the transition very smooth. My first set of classes provided an easy transition from high school to college level learning because there are opportunities for help through study groups and tutors, the teachers really get to know you and the student atmosphere is enthusiastic. We all want one another to succeed.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I have found that meeting people here is easy. The students are warm and welcoming. I have joined several academic liaisons and social organizations and the upperclassmen I have met through the programs want me to feel comfortable. They answer any questions I have and request to meet for meals often. I have found that I am never alone because there are so many opportunities to stay occupied.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Application was free when I applied. Most students also received generous scholarship. Being a member of the honors program I also receive an annual book stipend and the program pays for outings and nights in. I suggest taking advantage of the minor activities fee because the funds are used towards pizza nights, movie viewings, bake offs and more.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Visit the school and attend the prospective students days. They are geared toward introducing the school and the surrounding area. Half the battle when choosing a school is determining where you want to live and what you want to be doing in you free time. These days will lure you in to the area and from there it is clear how many opportunities there are to get off campus. I suggest applying to the honors program to anyone who has the academic standings required.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
The all female classes make concentrating in class easier. It also makes the dorms very home-like and warm. We understand that we need a certain level of testosterone so there are always opportunities to get off campus and meet guys from the surrounding schools. (Tufts, Northeastern, Harvard, Berklee) Simmons is great for any girl who want to meet and learn with other ambitious women. Why overlook a school designed specifically to help women achieve?
