Is the stereotype of students at Emerson College accurate?

Rachel

ALL

Katie

for the most part but there are exceptions.

Andy

There are quite a few gay people, and quite a few people smoke, but its not a big deal

Terry

to an extent

Jesse

Often, yes. However, there are Emerson students who look, act and think like average students at every other major college or university in the country.

Adam

Well... yes and no. Emerson does have a strong gay community, which can be a welcome change from many campuses, but it is certainly not a focus.

Devin

For half the sudent body. But really, there's hardly an straight, single men.

Rory

For everyone in a different way, yes.

Lynette

For a lot of students, yes. There are some kids that are exceptions to the stereotypes. Like me. I'm straight, a non-smoker, a libertarian, not all that artsy, and pretty chill.

Julie

Yes and no. Any college is going to have its share of that "type," and an arts school will attract it more than other places. Do get used to secondhand smoke. And there aren't as many gay guys as the rumors claim.
