“At Simmons, we take special pride in our student-run house government. It takes the form of a classic New England town meeting. Want to build a workshop, install surround sound in the MPR, build an indoor Zen garden, or throw an all-residence BBQ? We convene bi-weekly, and every resident has an equal voice in sharing ideas or recommending changes. As a result, there are always new ideas on the table and an efficient transfer of resources into the hands of people who want to make things happen. And things happen fast at Simmons—which is how we like it.”
John and Ellen Essigmann, Simmons Housemasters
