Emily's Review

Review of Emerson College

from Edinboro, PA

Describe your college in three sentences.

Emerson is a beautiful, alternative school perfect for those who want an out-of-the-box college experience. As I'm looking at it, I am stunned by the incredible facilities of the College as well as its commitment to education in the communication arts. I've honestly never seen any school like it and I'm completely in love.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Be you, artsy, passionate you. Emerson looks for originality as well as your character, so be honest in your application, and remember, this school isn't for everybody. If you decide to come here, you have to know what you want to do: Emerson is very limited in terms of majors, so if you're interested in, say, Journalism and Bioengineering, you're going to need to look at a more comprehensive university.

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

I haven't experienced any classes, but from what I understand, the work isn't difficult, but it is very hands-on. Expect lots of unorthodox assignments!

Describe the dorm life at your college.

I haven't lived in one, of course, but I did visit the campus: the dorms were pretty spacious, and suite-style living looks very nice. It is nice how much is included in one building: you can live your entire collegiate career in one building, if you would so choose. I would want to live in Paramount with the Performing Arts students, which has rehearsal spaces in the basement, the Art Deco styled theater, and a cafe for late rehearsal nights.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

From what I've heard, the food on campus isn't the greatest, but you're in the middle of Boston, and the food options off-campus are limitless.

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

Quiddich, quiddich, quiddich!
