Office of Residence Life

New Students

Welcome New Simmons Student!

Congratulations on your acceptance to Simmons College!  It is with great pleasure that we invite you to live on our Residence Campus.  The Residence Campus offers an enriching living environment with many opportunities for you to meet new people and share exciting experiences.  The Residence Campus boasts a beautiful quadrangle as well as the state of the art Holmes Sports Center, Bartol Dining Hall, and the Simmons College Health Center.

There is a $250.00 housing deposit requirement for your residence application to be complete.  Include your housing deposit with the tuition deposit you send to the Undergraduate Admissions Office.  The Office of Residence Life will not be able to consider your residence application until your housing deposit has been received by the Admission Office.  After sending in your housing deposit, please submit a Undergraduate Housing Application.

Our first year students will be living in Simmons, Morse, Mesick and South Halls. While there are some double occupancy rooms, please be aware that many of our first year students will be assigned to three and four person rooms. Since space is assigned based on availability and in deposit order, we encourage you to send your housing deposit and residence application in as soon as you make the decision to live on campus. 

We will be sending out housing assignment emails throughout the summer beginning in mid to late July.  The assignment email will include your hall and room assignment, on-campus address, and a wealth of other information regarding the Residence Campus. 

We in Residence Life look forward to welcoming you to campus in early September.  In the meantime, please contact us with any questions.  We may be reached via email at reslife@simmons.edu or at 617-521-1096.  Again, congratulations, and welcome to the Simmons community!
