I chose this school because it was different and I knew I would experience so much more here than any other school. Students here are very PASSIONATE and DRIVEN about their future and career. I wanted to be surrounded by people like this because being a perfectionist and focused about my future myself made this college seem like home and where I belong. The only problem is I tend to feel a little out of place because this school is bankrupting me and it's too late to back out of this college after so much time and committement.

Everyone here is so liberal, they're almost conservative about it.

We are small, but we're located in a big city--all the problems (high rent, crime) of a big city come along with all the advantages (endless resources, lots of people, easy recruitment for models and actors). Emerson offers a great urban experience with dorms so you still have a huge "home" with a big, loving community of gay men to go home to.

Emerson has a cross-registration program with several other art schools in the area, which means that I can major in acting, but still take classes at Berklee College of Music. This school is also rare in that it gives merit-based scholarships to performing arts majors. Without the honors program scholarship, I honestly don't think I would have been able to go to college right out of high school.

Emerson is a very tight-knit community. The school is small enough that you know almost everyone there by sight, if not name. Because there are under 3000 students, classes are very small and professors are able to focus one-on-one with students. It is located in downtown Boston, so there is always something going on. Also, because so many industry professionals have graduated from Emerson, there are lots of connections available to help you find employment once you graduate.

My school is devoted entirely to the feild of communications, and gives each individual student a unique and individual learning experience.

Overpriced, and overrated.

Emerson is a great school, and it is slowly building up an amazing reputation as a go-to school for Hollywood scouts. If you are looking for an education in film and television, it is among the top shelf.

One thing I definitely feel strongly about is that Emerson changes you as a person, and definitely in a good way. This college nurtures your talents and makes you become a more confident and independent person. Not only have I become more social, but I've never felt more sure of my career path or myself as a person. Also, and I really need to add this, I'm especially grateful to Emerson for giving me a sense of style :)

Get involved, start networking, have fun, go to the Castle if you can.
