The Business of Life in a Capital of Commerce
Boston is big league in every sense but size -- and so is Simmons! Our small but influential community attracts students and faculty who give it life and shape its character. The historic Simmons campuses are located in Boston’s Fenway and Back Bay neighborhoods, which are alive with music and fine arts, medical care and research, commerce and politics, and the vibrancy of a small community in the heart of a great city.
The SOM shares the Back Bay with some of the city's best shopping and dining, as well as the John Hancock Tower, Copley Place, the Prudential Center, and the Hynes Convention Center. Imagine spending a morning at the Boston Public Library or at the incomparable Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum next door to the Simmons main campus, followed by lunch on cosmopolitan Newbury Street, a feisty Red Sox game, or a Boston Pops concert -- all within walking distance of the SOM. Boston's public transportation system, the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority -- a.k.a. the "T" -- also provides easy access to the city's many eclectic neighborhoods.
“After all the years of staying connected to the SOM because I value the education I received and because I recognize the merit of the SOM network, it is satisfying to realize the school can still have an important impact on my career.”
Gail Snowden ’78 SOM, vice president for finance and operations, The Boston Foundation
