<p>Simmons culture revolves around its “lounges” (resident-created social groups that are given dorm funds to pursue activities of choice) rather than the entire building as a whole.</p>
<p>In some cases, Simmons culture can also revolve around location, when friends end up taking all the rooms in a particular section of the building (this happens particularly in the towers). Such people usually end up forming their own lounge as well.</p>
<p>Oh, and on an unrelated note, I cannot tell you how awesome it is not to have to leave your room to use a fully furnished (and in my case, particularly spacious) bathroom.</p>
