here  | | Diana, we get a lot of questions about being a women's college... ...and that's ok. We want to share with you some fun facts that might help you learn more about the benefits of attending a school like Simmons. Did you know: - Women's college graduates make up only 2% of all U.S. college graduates, but comprise more than 20% of women in Congress and 33% of women on Fortune 100 boards.
- Researchers found that students at women's colleges spend more time on productive activities and gain more from their college experience compared to women at coeducational institutions.
- 81% of women's college grads reported feeling well-prepared for their first job versus 65% of public university grads.
- First-year students and seniors at women's colleges reported higher levels of active and collaborative learning, interaction with faculty, and class participation.
- Women's college grads are almost twice as likely to complete a graduate degree versus public university grads.
Famous Women's College Alumnae: Hillary Clinton, Diane Sawyer, Nancy Pelosi, Meryl Streep, Gloria Steinem, Barbara Walters, Madeleine Albright, and Katharine Hepburn all graduated from women's colleges; Rehema Ellis, Ann Fudge, and the late Gwen Ifill graduated from Simmons.
