Pros:
  • Great library!
  • It's a small campus so you get everywhere quickly.
  • Very close to other colleges; in the Fenway.
  • Great professors. Although you do have to research them to find ones that will challenge you academically.
  • Cons:

  • The Main Campus Building smells. I don't know what it is, but it smells like it hasn't been cleaned since the 50s.
  • No diversity whatsoever. Most of the women are either from MA, NH, or Maine. If you're lucky you'll meet someone from an exotic land, such as California… :s
  • iComps.
  • Too many stupid requirements that take up much of your time: iComps, MCC, FYE, Modes…
  • The parents are notified of everything, so it's like going to a boarding school.
  • Most of the students are too preoccupied with their personal lives to actually care about their studies.
  • Sh!t financial aid help.
  • Small campus.
  • If you don't make friends in the first few days, you're screwed. I'm a commuter student. Because I didn't attend, I wasn't able to befriend anyone early on like in orientation. Whenever I see one of my classmates around campus I smile and they just turn their heads… So yeah, snotty students.
  • A LOT of Simmons students wearing Mt. Holyoke/Smith/Wellesley sweaters…they should just get over it.
