Simmons College (www.simmons.edu) is a private university located in the heart of Boston. Simmons has top-rated faculty, prestigious alumnae/i, and an ideal Boston location. It has undergraduate programs for women and graduate programs for women and men. Founded more than a century ago, Simmons was the first woman’s college in the nation to offer women liberal arts training and career preparation. Simmons founded the first MBA program in the world designed to help women succeed as leaders and managers. There are roughly 2,000 undergraduate women students, including 21% self reported African American, Latina, Asian, Native American, and multi-racial students. There are 6% international students. Simmons is next-door to world-renowned museums, libraries, hospitals, and medical and research facilities. Simmons College has been repeatedly named a “Best College” in its category in the U.S.News & World Report rankings of “America’s Top Colleges.” Simmons is also named in the Princeton Review “Best 361 Colleges,” an honor held by only 15% of the four-year undergraduate colleges in America.
On Student Body
Simmons women see themselves as open-minded, overachieving feminists who are "just as engaging at a party as in the classroom." Students routinely take on crazy class hours, club leadership positions, and multiple majors. Recently, the vibe of the school has started to shift "from being all about grades to being more about community." The small, liberal student body accepts lesbianism readily—"you become very accustomed to same-sex relationships"—but "Republicans or Yankees fans might want to tread carefully." Many student activists organize around political issues of gender, race, and class. They note a divide between students "on a first-name basis with every financial aid officer and those whose parents can afford a small island in the Pacific." They are also sensitive to the fact that "there are more cleaning people than students of color." However, a junior points out, "With each incoming class, Simmons becomes more and more diverse." Ultimately, students cultivate "solidarity around being a woman," whether that woman is moneyed Cape Cod stock or a gender-bending punk.
On Academics
At Simmons College, its all-female, grade-conscious setting demonstrates that "the girls are here to learn." A senior admits, "It might sound cheesy, but the school is really about helping students find their voice." Professors facilitate this process by "treating everyone with respect, dignity, and compassion." Students feel their teachers are "actually on our side, ready to help with almost anything." Extensive office hours and prompt e-mail responses indicate professors' high level of accessibility. "When you find an amazing professor, you can be sure that s/he is available to you in a big way," writes a senior. The political science, international relations, and communications departments rank high with students, while the nursing and physical therapy programs benefit from proximity to some of the nation's top hospitals. "When I look out my window, I see Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and one block down are the rest of the great hospitals in the Longwood Medical Area." This practical training bridges academic work and professional preparation. "All of my professors in the nursing program have wanted me to succeed and have advised me in my career choices." A few departments, such as music and psychology, could use a few more faculty members to cover class demand. Complaints surface regarding Culture Matters (officially the "Multidisciplinary Core Course"), a class required of all first-year students. But in most classes, students notice a payoff. "I've seen an amazing improvement in my writing, class participation, and overall attention to detail in my reading." The school places "a high premium on making sure everyone feels comfortable," so that education can be a personal experience. "By the time we graduate, we're far more self-confident."
Campus Life
Be warned: "This is a learning environment, not a place to party or make out with the newest meat from MIT." It is true that on-campus life can feel like "a bizarre combination of a nunnery and Sesame Street." Entertainment veers toward that sleepover-party image of single-sex institutions, complete with "pajamas, movies, and drinks." If Simmons were located in the boonies, the regimen of knitting, Ms. Pac-Man, political rallies, and field hockey could get old. But it's in the middle of Boston, a "huge college-oriented city" that beckons with Newbury Street shopping, hip coffee shops, Red Sox games, and the male-female ratio of the real world. "The school buys bulk discounted tickets to plays and musicals and even the ballet." Participation in the Colleges of Fenway Consortium links the school to its neighbors, though some students seem to have thought before they enrolled that Simmons would host more coed events. Students like coming home to Simmons as much as they like getting away. "It always feels like a safe and secure place to study after a long weekend out." A fair number of entering students seem to experience a rough adjustment period but grow to love the school after getting accustomed and involved.

Get the Simmons College mug.Birmingham-Southern College is the Top Ranked College or University in the state of Alabama.
The college is ranked in the Top 10 Colleges in the Southeast and is among the Top 150 Private Colleges in the Nation.
Its students traditionally come from families that fall in the upper-middle to upper class bracket, and they also maintain high GPAs.
Birmingham-Southern is fairly selective in its admission process, and students report that it's even harder to stay enrolled due to its rigorous courses and heavy workload.
Many of the professors at Birmingham-Southern have ranked higher in student approval and College Review Boards than those at Yale, Vanderbilt, Duke, and Tulane Universities, respectively.
The college spends more on indvidual student services than any other school in the South. Its student-teacher ratio is approx. 12:1
Graduates from BSC are highly sought after, especially in the Southeast. It has become known as a breeding ground for future lawyers, doctors, and politicians.
Tuition at BSC is among the highest in the South, with the total collective cost (including tuiton, meal plans, books, and room and board) averaging $40,000 a year. However, its massive endowment allows for numerous scholarships for students from low-income families.
Despite its high cost of attendance, enrollment at BSC is constantly growing. In past three years, student enrollment has reached a record high. It currently (as of Fall 2009) has an enrollment of approx. 1600.

Birmingham-Southern College has been ranked as the best college in the state of Alabama, and has been described by many as a mini-Vanderbilt of sorts. Birmingham residents often refer to it as a "Southern Ivy," due to both its reputation and high cost of attendance. Its students are among the best in America, and are consistently accepted to Ivy League Graduate Programs.

Get the Birmingham-Southern College mug.A small college in Holland, MI that is a leader in undergraduate research as well as basement ragers. Although occasionally campus safety can sometimes rain on the parade, as well as HPD which often forgets the large amount of shady activity on 16+ street and trolls the student-rich areas of 12th-15th street, the atmosphere is usually a balance of work, study, and fun. Visitors on Fridays will enjoy the best phelps food ever offered as well as the faint smell of the night before on many of the tired looking students. Hope College is a great community that produces the best students, and people, in the world.
"I visited Hope College last weekend. The Organic Chemistry class I sat in on went way over my head but the shenanigans that occurred in Kollen Hall will never be forgotten.

Get the Hope College mug.Probably the Best freaking public school in the state of New Jersey, and maybe even the Tri-State area. TCNJ's students are made up of some of the best leftovers that didn't have the money to afford Princeton. Many people tend to think of TCNJ in terms of Rutgers, but anyone with an STD can get into Rutgers. It takes a solid SAT score and an over-achiever's roster of extra-curriculars to get into The College. It may not be an Ivy, but it's definitely a Public Ivy. And, as the New York Times said, it's not just The College, it's "The HOT College."
Any SMART student that doesn't go to Rutgers, Rowan, Montclair, William Patterson (Willie P), Stockton, Rider, or Kean.
Some of TCNJ's best include an awesome group of (probably overpaid) student Ambassadors.
Mostly New Jersey students, but the 10% of out-of-staters include: New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Masschusettes, California, Arizona, Washington, and Kansas.
"Hey! Are you going to be one of the 10,000 sluts going to attend Rutgers with me in the fall?!"
"Well, I got in there. But, I got into The College of New Jersey as well. So, I figured I'd go to the better school. Plus, I like not having the HIV."

Get the The College of New Jersey mug.Methodist College is a private institution that is located in Fayetteville, NC. The student body primarily consists of extremely disfigured women and alcoholic golfers who drink heavily just to blur the memories of sleeping with them. While students who live on-campus suffer from a strictly enforced "no-alcohol policy", off-campus students at Heather Ridge Apartments enjoy the freedom of vandalizing and littering the complex with Beast Ice cans and King Cobra 40's. The HR residents also like to enjoy late night swimming, sausage fests, and 3 AM trips to Wafflehouse to admire the local crackheads. Even though Methodist College accumulates a ridiculous amount of revenue off tuition (3rd most expensive college in North Carolina), most would fail to recognize where this tuition money is utilized. Surely it isn't all spent on the burnt out "community college level" faculty. The money is obviously spent elsewhere because The Methodist College "Security" Force relies heavily on making money by giving students parking tickets for parking in an inappropriate fashion or driving 1.75 miles over the speed limit. Perhaps the most suitable conclusion for this definition would be the Methodist College Alma Mater. "Methodist College, where the men are men, and the women are too."
