Simmons is a great academic institution. I am in the Physical Therapy Program which is very competitive and well-known. Socially the school isn't fantastic. I have some great friends but we all know that we aren't having the

normal college experience

Sure this is known because we go to an all women's college but we still get out and have friends at surrounding universities and get out on the weekends. There is more to a college social life than going to parties on the weekend and this is where Simmons struggles. We only interact with the opposite sex on the weekend and become awkward when interacting with them in a non party situation.

As far as the student body goes, it is very diverse. Classes are fairly small, especially non-science classes. The Professors are wonderful for the most part but as with any university there are bad professors.

The Nursing students make up a majority of the student population. They are the biggest complainers in the school and make you know when they have an exam or a practical coming up. They get way too stressed out despite the fact they only need a C+ in their classes to stay in their program. PT majors need a B and are allowed only one B- in their undergraduate courses.
