After visiting many school/colleges as my children have come to college age, First and foremost on everyones mind is safety, this does not seem to be the case at Simons Rock. On Dec. 20th 1992 this school had a shooting in which two people died and 4 were wounded, it seems so bizarre that this school has done nothing. They have even removed the security guard which use to be at the entrance of the school.
Great academics, amazing faculty, and awesome people. Loved my time here.
I am writing on this web site to implore the Bard College at Simons Rock to do something about the Lighting in and around the school. For years many parents, coaches and visitors have mentioned how dark and dangerous it is to walk around this college, especially from the parking lots to the athletic center.
It seems to me that Simons Rock College should be proactive in nature and install lighting and "blue boxes" for emergency, instead of waiting and having to be retroactive after someone get seriously injured.
I am a third year graduate student at an Ivy League college and I still think back to the amazing professors I had a Simon's Rock.
A unique opportunity not to be missed! No other college works like this. I was sick and tired of my mundane world of high school monotony. Everything was so easy for me, and my school lacked the resources for me to truly excel. After a long search, I found Simon's Rock, which caters to extraordinary high school students, who are ready to reach the next level. The open house, which I highly recommend for anyone looking into this school, was beyond belief, and I knew immediately that I belonged here. Never have I felt more welcomed to a school! The small community allows for teachers to have a one-on-one connection with their students, and I felt truly appreciated for my passions and abilities.
While walking from the upper parking lot above the KAC on a rainy over cast night one can not even see the edges of the road let alone have enough light to put your keys in the cars door. The side walks are not level with the grassed edges, you can not see the edge of the sidewalks and often fall off them while walking. The side walks have frost heaves in which you can not see at night or of there is ice on them.
It's a great place with really dedicated teachers and faculty. All the people are caring, from the dorm janitors all the way up to the provost. The school is tiny, 400 kids, but if you somehow end up here, you already have a lot in common. The school isn't for everyone, and if you do go here, there's no guarantee that you'll like everybody. But I went here and I'm immensely glad I came here instead of continuing high school.
My only issue was that the financial aid is a little difficult to figure out, especially if it's your first time attending college, but we arranged a meeting with our wonderful financial aid officer who helped us incredibly. I can't say enough about Simon's Rock, so check out the open house and see for yourself!
