Dave's Review

Review of Emerson College

from Somerville, MA

Describe your college in three sentences.

Emerson is the school where you'll cry when you see the bill. You'll have to keep reminding yourself that this school is getting you where you want to be and they throw in so many extras along the way you'll get caught up in the experience and forget about the $50K tuition bill. The people you meet are all supportive and the few that aren't do not get too far

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Apply if you know what you want to do. Transfers- Work twice as hard to get on your track and get involved as much as you can.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Classes are longer than one would expect and registering is competitive compared to State schools.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

They hate transfers in terms of housing. They dangle the prospect of it like a toy in front of a cat

Describe the food and dining at your college.

One of the worst in the area. Don't worry, the students are so good, they are petitioning to change it currently.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Act in a student film Write a student film Student rush tickets to shows Open mic nights Plenty of intramural sports Plenty of guest lectures and panels Huge movie selection in the library You're going to be watching tons of netflix even though there is so much to do

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

You get a lot from Emerson. The amount of people who get ons and connections once they graduate is surprisingly high given the competition in most media/performance fields. You're paying for the connections with this school, but it's worth it.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Looking to expand into the Transportation building on Boylston Place.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Acting/performers, Media enthusiasts, socially awkward and extroverted people

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
