  About the Institution
Simmons University is a private University in Boston, Massachusetts. Established in 1899 by clothing manufacturer John Simmons, the University welcomes 126 international students worldwide every year.

Significantly, its undergraduate program is women-focused, while its graduate programs are co-educational.

Amenities are a big part of enriching the student experience. The two main libraries on campus provide 20 study rooms and tons of reading materials in an aesthetic environment. Academic resources at the University include the Writing Center, Math and Stats Lab, and the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning. The institution also utilizes technological advancement by providing access to computer labs, wireless internet, and other learning platforms. The Holmes Sports Center, Counseling Center, and Health Center are all University buildings looking out for student well-being, mentally and physically.
  Location
The University is located in the Fenway neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. It’s often listed as one of the best places to live in Massachusetts, with a thriving social scene, young residents, and a liberal outlook. Boston is a multicultural city with tons of free museums within walking distance of the campus and Fenway Park nearby: home to the Boston Red Sox. Tons of trendy restaurants and coffee shops act as social hubs in the urban area, so students feel a part of the action while being close to South End, North End, and other areas with lots of history.
  Student Life
Over 70 student clubs are registered with the Student Union, ranging from a model UN society to the Sirens (acapella group) and beyond. The campus also has several traditions, from the 100-year-old May Day celebration to Shark Week laser tag. Staying active is easy at Simmons, with yoga classes and free Peloton bikes encouraged for student use. Students can also utilize nutrition counseling and accessibility services on campus to promote a positive and supportive environment. The University’s commitment to inclusion and diversity shines through on campus, so students feel a part of the community and women are treated equally.

The University has various residence halls that offer a range of room sizes, from single to triple occupancy. The rooms are fully furnished and allow socializing with other students in the communal study areas, kitchens, lounges, and when using laundry facilities. Suppose students want a more independent living experience. In that case, they can opt for apartment-style housing where they still make use of fully furnished rooms and communal areas, but they have fewer housemates.

Like many institutions, Simmons University offers specialty accommodation options: Wellness Housing, Honors Program Housing, and housing based on gender and sexuality, if desired.

Some students may live off-campus, so they are situated nearby and can live with friends or a partner.
