Simpson college Reviews

Great institution, small class sizes and great opportunities for attending students.

Amazing new facilities. One on one with all the professors. The only issue is it is a little pricey. Fantastic school!

My son just started school here. A beautiful campus and friendly staff.

Simpson College has the worst case of faculty diversity issues! Please be mindful of the environment and services available to minority students on campus. Simpson College subjects students to unjust actions and denies their rights. The institution is financially unstable. Professors at Simpson, provide students with assistance and support their academic goals! Unfortunately, institutional politics at Simpson College will leave a negative lasting impression. Students and the Carver legacy are marketing tools. Minorities do not have the same support as other students on campus! Simpson must resolve all diversity issues, treat every student the same and remove racial bias.

Simpson College is a liberal arts institution. My kid goes to this school, and really loves it! It has small course sizes and student-to-teacher ratios. Simpson has some top notch scholars with Ivy league education from schools such as Harvard and Stanford. Simpson is located in Indianola, Iowa (which admittedly lacks diversity and culture). Yet, it is a growing city and they are at least "open" to the idea of differing thoughts and cultures. The college is somewhat expensive being of such small stature, but they are overly generous with scholarship opportunities. Simpson promotes their undergraduate research programs as highly competitive. I don't know the actual level of research and societal contributions they are able to make since they are a private institution (aka, lack of incoming public research dollars). However, Simpson has outstanding academic programs. We were sold on Simpson due to our kid's recruiter, named Dave. He's undoubtedly one of the best resources at Simpson. I would highly recommend any student to at least take a campus visit.

Great, personalized and hands-on education. Over and over again Simpson College builds well-rounded individuals whom are ready for the job market. The close-knit alumni network and proximity to Des Moines make for an excellent home to further your education and broaden your activism.

Great campus and friendly staff. However if you're going to simpson to play sports at the next level, you might want to look else where. They over recruit (its a money thing) and typically carry triple the roster size than most D3 sports programs. The coaches usually choose their starters from locals and students from out of town are treated accordingly. NO direct flights to Des Moines, and Indianola is very difficult to get to in a timely manner. Overall the admin staff treated us right but to be honest indianola is still still stuck in the 60's as far race relations go.
