My classes are great! Everything is hands on. I've already been thrown into the street to learn how to be a journalist, written various articles, and felt like I really got something out of every class. The classes are very long so it can drag on (about 75 to 105 minutes each), but I always leave feeling like I learned something.
All of the professors have some sort of background in what they're teaching, and may even be working in the field at the moment, which gives you an advantage because you're learning from the pros.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
There's so much to do on campus and in Boston. I've joined many clubs, including radio, newspaper, and Imagine. There's many opportunities for any interests or majors, and if you don't like any, you can start your own. It's also very close and in walking distance to all the fun things in Boston, like Fanuel Hall, Prudential Center, and Newbury Street.
The people are very nice, there's a great atmosphere and everyone's very friendly. Students are very outgoing and the staff and faculty are great!
The food is also great. There's many options and I never feel bogged down by them. I can go to the dining hall, conveniently located in my dorm building, or one of the three cafes Emerson has to offer. They all have good food and decent prices.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Emerson isn't great with financial aid and giving out money, so I'm in a lot of debt right now, but it's definitely worth it. I couldn't be happier, and I'd much rather be here and in debt while having the time of my life, than at my previous college, barely paying anything and feeling miserable.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Get involved! There's so much to do and it's a great addition to college life! It'll give you great connections and experience that will look good on your resume! There's a lot of opportunities waiting for you.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
The students tend to be very eccentric and hipster, if that's your style you'll fit in well. Very good for artsy people or people interested in film, the more creative and hands-on you are, the better you'll fit in.
