The 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.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Being such a small school (there are roughly 500 students in the freshman class), Emmanuel is very community-driven: the student body is a family. There is something for everyone here, whether on campus or in the city of Boston - Emmanuel's extended campus.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Despite having high tuition costs (roughly $32,000), Emmanuel College is a private school funded by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. Their financial aid is wonderful; I don't know a single student that has not received a scholarship or grant from the school. Nearly everyone is paying less than half tuition.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Get to know faculty before you make your decision - Emmanuel didn't have the major I wanted and they helped me form my own curriculum in order to make an individualized major before I even enrolled. It is easy to network within the Emmanuel community, and the faculty will be more than willing to be flexible for your own academic needs.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Emmanuel College is great for students who want a big or small school - while the college has a small amount of students, it is still in the city, which (depending on your preference) provides a gateway to many different worlds. Division III Basketball, Tennis, Lacrosse, Soccer, Volleyball, Softball, and Cross Country, as well as many additional intramural sports provide athletic opportunities. Our heavily involved Theater Guild, award-winning Dance Team, and prestigious art program allow students to express their creativity. Altogether, a communal student body and a caring faculty are present for students looking for a home-away-from-home.
