Local Community

Not many colleges can boast of having the best of both worlds. But at Simpson, we can and do have it both ways--small-town friendliness and a good mix of city life. There are a lot of great opportunities for entertainment and enjoyment, both in town and in nearby Des Moines. From local theatres and restaurants to professional sports teams and quality recreational areas, Central Iowa is a great place to be. In fact, Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine just named Des Moines one of the TOP TEN cities in the nation for work and play. And Forbes magazine recently listed Des Moines as one of the best places in the nation for business and career.
