Simmons College

Here Sarah will be taking you on a quick tour of the Simmons College residence campus! The Residence Campus is a beautiful grassy and gated quad that's home to: 9 residence halls, a dining hall, a sports center, and a health center.

This is a video about some of the frequently asked questions about food options here at Simmons. Sarah Galvez takes you through the many options that both Bartol Hall and The Fens Cafe have to offer. She also interviews a few students about what they like best about the food here on campus.

It's that time of year - housing selection! Join our very own Woman on Campus, Sarah Galvez, as she tours the dorms in her four part series.

In this video, Sarah takes you on a tour of Simmons Hall. This hall features primarily first year housing as well as the sports pride theme community.

Interview with Nerissa Chan, Morse Hall
Want some decorating tips? Looking for some new ideas? Want to know how Quadside Late Night Crafts and CAB Craft corners can help with your room decor? Perhaps you are just curious how other people have set up their bedroom. Whatever the reason, you will enjoy taking a trip with SC Cribs to RA Nerissa Chan's room in Morse Hall.

What is your favorite thing in your room?
My favorite thing in my room is probably a split between the rug and the fridge (oddly enough!) I found the rug secondhand for free and my fridge has been with me FOREVER. They both really help tie the room together.

It was fully renovated in 1999, and had a recent 1st floor kitchen renovation completed in January 2012. Dix hall also has air conditioning in early fall when it is still hot.

Take a tour through the halls in preparation for returning housing selection! This is the first in a whole series of videos showing you what rooms look like within our variety of halls on campus.

Living in Mesick is great! It's nice to live in a recently renovated hall; it looks bright and clean. I live on the third floor, which is the substance-free floor in Mesick. We have a laundry room, a lounge, and a really nice bathroom! There isn't a TV in the lounge, so it's perfect for studying or just hanging out. If you do want to watch TV, there is one on the first floor and one on the fourth floor. If you want a nice kitchen to cook or bake, the fourth floor is the foodie floor and has quite the kitchen. It's so convenient; you just have to go up a flight of stairs! Another great amenity of Mesick is the smart classroom. If you want somewhere to study with a white board, but don't want to walk all the way to the library, you can just go to the Mesick smart classroom on the first floor. Mesick is a great place to be!

Homey.
