I noticed the negative comments about Simmons and felt the need to respond. I went to Simmons after a previous college attempt at a large northeastern university. Simmons offered me a great education at a school designed as a pre-professional college for women. Even though I came in at a junior I had no trouble meeting people. Most people were friendly and welcoming to me, even though I was older than most of the other women in the dorm. I will admit that the registrar, or housing offices were slow to get my paperwork to me and then weren't there when I came to move in, but for the most part that didn't matter. I would have liked the courses to be a bit more challenging but for the most part they were good. The professors were available whenever you needed them. The facilities were good, though small, but so is the college. You may have to put some effort in to meeting people but it's new england, not the south or midwest, so you should expect that anywhere up there. I would definitely suggest Simmons to any woman who is looking for a small, supportive environment in the middle of a big city. It is the best of both worlds.
