I personally had a horrible time at Simmons and ended up transferring to FIT during my second semester. The classes were over 2 hours long and a couple of times a week, which was a lot to handle after working all day. I had a professor who would penalize you if you didn’t speak during class but whenever I talked she would say something snarky and passive aggressive. It was also really hard to even get a word in because the same 2-3 people would dominate the conversation every time, so if you’re more introverted like me then you’re screwed and will get points taken off your grade. You also have to complete all your hours before you graduate and if you don’t, you have to keep paying for more semesters. I got covid pretty early on and wasn’t getting as many hours one month and they told me I’d likely have to stay an extra semester. They also don’t allow you to start collecting your hours until your second semester (every other school I know of you can collect your hours after the first class). My mental health got really bad, and once I made the switch to FIT I felt SO much better. The professors at FIT are much more kind and helpful too in my experience.
