Emerson College Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Emerson College accurate?

Nicole

Yes. Emerson IS a good school, but it also feels like high school because of its small size. If you are a female and are coming to Emerson hoping to find a male soul mate, you will not find this at the college. However, there are thousands of other people in the city, so that's not a huge deal.

Corey

mostly, yes. About 45{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the student population here is homosexual, and a lot of them do smoke. However, not all are flamboyant although a lot of inside jokes concerning flamboyancy are present.

Torry

For the most part, yes. Emerson is not a school where the norm is jeans, sneakers, and a hoodie. People are actually very concerned about looking like they just threw on their outfit in the morning instead of having planned it out. Yes, people are really liberal, but I have met some republicans and of course not everyone is a Jew. And no, it is not true that 40{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the male population is gay, it just seems like that sometimes.

Robin

For the most part, yes.

Jack

All of them. Maybe not the lazy part. That's only half accurate.

Ben

To a certain extent-- Emerson is filled with a lot of really great people, but some of them try too hard to be original instead of just being themself.

Gene

not really, I mean it's just like every other college (or even like at high school) where the stereotypes apply to some people but not to others.

Cheyenne

Most people are pretty care free with money. A lot of things are bought by Mommy and Daddy.

Meaghan

Many students are smokers and some are homosexuals but not everyone.

Rachel

Somewhat, yeah.
