REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThe professors really make an effort to make sure students understand the material. The small student-to-faculty ratio allows for better comprehension and focused learning.
Sarah from East Hartford, CT
The professors and staff here at Emmanuel are great! They all have a passion for what they do and they genuinely care about their students. End of semester professor reviews help the school keep the best professors, weed out the bad, and improve all.
Kathryn from Boston, MA
I am a Biology major and the coursework is definitely rigorous and tough. With the surrounding hospitals and new science center it keeps you focused on your ending goals.
Erin from Boston, MA
Emmanuel College in Boston Massachusetts is great. Everyone at Emmanuel College, including staff, professors, and students are all welcoming. Emmanuel offers many ways in which to get involved on campus and in the Boston community.
Nicholas
Though many people feel the college has a homey and family-like atmosphere, you will often find yourself stuck in cliques. It has the nickname EC High for that reason. Keep your studies #1 and make smart decisions and you'll love it and the location.
Kerri from Methuen, MA
The teachers are wonderful. They want to help you and don't mind staying after class or making appointments. They love when students go to their office hours.
Maureen from Middleboro, MA
Emmanuel is a great school, the professors are easy to relate to and know what they are talking about. I have a great time attending this school.
J
Emmanuel has a small classroom setting within the large Boston community. As a science major, the lab work we get to do it incredible for the size of our school compared to others. The professors will go above and beyond to make sure we are receiving the best education and knowledge in order to embark on our future endeavors whether it be graduate programs or a full-time job out of college.
Kristina from Narragansett, RI
It has a great science program. The professors really do want to help you and see you do well. However, it's very small and it's almost like a high school. Also, not much ever happens on campus.
Terese from Lincoln, MA
Challenging but manageable work load.
