A short walk from the main campus, Simmons's gated residence campus offers a private refuge in the heart of the city. Nine brick residence halls enclose a grassy quad where students relax or study on sunny days. Bartol Dining Hall, Holmes Sports Center, and the campus health center are conveniently located here. Dances, parties, and performances are held in Alumnae Hall. Hall teas and other events provide opportunities for students to mingle, enjoy guest speakers, and meet with faculty on an informal basis.
Housing options
Simmons's residence halls offer special-interest housing, including quiet floors, community service floors, limited access floors, and substance-free wellness areas that emphasize holistic health. Handicapped accessible rooms are available, as well as rooms for visitors and commuter students needing the occasional overnight stay.
All first-year students are guaranteed housing. All halls include cable TV and wireless internet access. Other residence campus amenities include free laundry facilities, student kitchens, lounges with TVs, pianos, study rooms, a multi-faith prayer room, and a computer lab.
