    If I could do it again, I would make the same choice in coming here. BUT cost keeps increasing and the scholarships and grants don't, what's up with that?

    Simpson is pricey since it is a private school. I think they could use the money in better ways by adding more water fountains or getting more updated dorms. If you choose the right classes, you will get the education that you pay for, but some professors may just let you off a little too easily-- you have to talk to professors themselves to find out.

    Simpson is a great college academically. If you go to Simpson you know you're going to get one of the best educations you could pay for, which is priceless. Unfortunately, the food isn't that good and the tuition is ridiculously expensive.

    Simpson is a pretty pricey college, but they help a lot in the financial aid area. It would not be worth attending at all without financial help.
