Simmons College Top Questions

The one thing that I consider to be the worst thing about my school is the social aspect of it. I understand that Simmons is an all womens college but that doesn't mean that all the fun needs to be taken out of it. Many of the students here are very exclusive or are not open to make new friends and do new things. The majority of the students here are consistently studying or doing homework. I feel like it is important to have a healthy balance between the two.

All things considered, the worst thing might be the fact that the diversity is not as great as I would want it to be.

The most difficult part about Simmons is the financial aid office. The awards they give are good, but my financial advisor is not very good about giving advice or straight answers about aid.

I transferred into Simmons after my freshman year and the transition was very difficult. There wasn't a lot in place to help transfer students adjust the way there is for first year students. However, last year I began a program to address the needs of incoming transfer students and this year there are even more resources in place, so it's improving!

Unfriendly and divided student body.
