The best thing about Simpson is the relationships you can have with the professors. The biggest class I was in this past semester had 35 students in it. Having small class sizes makes discussions easier, but, on the downside, professors know when you're missing. They care about you, and expect you to take their classes seriously.

    Simpson is small which is both good and bad. You can have great relationships with your professors. However, many students go home during the weekends.

    Very welcoming to all in coming and new students. It is easy to settle in and feel like home. The smaller size means more attention from professors which in the end helps the learning process.

    A small school with a beautiful campus which is a great place to get individual attention. Teachers are cooperative and excited to help you understand the material. Getting to know people is easy since everyone is so friendly and the school is so small.

    Simpson College is an amazing campus where I have grown immensely. I absolutely love Simpson, and others do too, though no college is perfect. It's a beautiful place to be.

    It appears to be full of activities when you visit, but in reality it is a suitcase campus, which leaves you with nothing to do on weekends. The small campus makes it easy to get anywhere in 5 minutes. The teachers know you on a first name basis and are willing to help and meet with you out of class.

    Simpson College is lacking in the College Experience I was hoping for when I applied to be a student, there is nothing College about it. 75% of their students, including me, go home every weekend because there are no activities to do on the weekends and the food here is mediocre at it's best. The only good thing about Simpson is the campus is small, so walking to class isn't a big deal.

    Simpson College is home away from home. The small town community and the college work together to give students the best opportunities possible. Resources are easily accessible and the education gained here is excellent.

    Simpson is an incredibly welcoming facility. The campus is kept very lovely and clean, and the faculty members and teachers are kind, and quick to help. The students I have met are all ecstatic about attending this school.

    It has a beautiful campus and lots of activities. You have the option to design your own major. They have great may term options.
