Hi. I live in South Carolina but work in Charlotte, NC. Was there any problems or concerns attending Simmons being that NC has certain requirements that Simmons doesn't meet? How has the program been so far? Anything you wish you had of known beforehand? I am married and have a 1 yr old and I work PT nights 12 hrs. Do you find the workload overbearing for family and working? Would greatly appreciate your input!

Hi all, I wanted to know. Why do some of you have to take a refresher classes?

Hello! With Simmons, they told me I would qualify for financial aid as long as I take no less than 5 credits per term. Each term is about 14 weeks. The part time schedule slates you for 2-3 classes at a time. The volume of work was ENORMOUS with just 2 classes at a time. I tried to go down to one class at a time, but I wouldn't qualify for financial aid and that would lengthen my graduation time to about 6 years! I loved the rigor and quality of the classes at Simmons, but I am a working mom, and this school's workload was not compatible with my life.
