Emerson College Top Questions

Being one of the most central schools in Boston, you can expect to have a tremendous amount of things to do every day. Unfortunately, Boston shuts down early every night. You have all of Boston at your fingertips at this school.

Emerson has many, many, many active clubs on campus and more are added every semester. It is an unwritten rule at emerson that you must have some extracurricular activity. there are many to chose from. one for ever field you're interested in, you can't lack for something to do in that regard. Social life at emerson, well parites wise they can be boring unless you party with the ethnic kids who have alot of fun :). Well i'm not sure about the dorms because i've never lived in them.

There are tons of groups to be involved with at Emerson. WERS, our radio stations is huge in the boston market and gives students the opportunity to really be part of a successful radio station, where it is completely run by the studets. Dorm life is really cool for the first two years, but then students move off campus. You find students in the dorms playing games, hanging out, shooting films, having crazy conversations. People usually head out to Allston on te weekends to party, and partying doesnt really happen in the dorms. Students go to the Gardens to smoke some pot, but thats about it.

There is always something to do while at Emerson. Whether it be a film shoot, a comedy show or a night on the town, Emerson students have no excuse to be bored.

The common clubs in the college are the Emerson Channel, the radio station and the marketing EMComm. I'm involved in EmComm and its a very good opportunity to apply what you learn in class. Sports are not such a big deal in Emerson but theater is. Students usually leave their doors open and if I'm awake at 2am on a Tuesday is eitherr studying or hanging out with a friend. There's always parties in an off campus on friday nights. If you don' drink you can go out for a walk around New Berry, go dancing, or walk around North End

SO many very cute indie boys but then you will find the occasional cute athletic guy who likes to read :)

While there aren't that many sports teams on campus, it seems what Emerson does have in sports matters a lot to the students. The women and men's basketball teams are quite good and games are always packed. Soccer and Lacrosse are also very popular, for men and women. Ice Hockey has a small following, too. There are some small fraternities and sororities on campus but nothin crazy. People, for the most part, are more concerned with going out for a fun night on the town, whether that's drinking in Alston or going to a Karaoke bar with friends. There are night clubs, bars, restaurants, theaters, cinemas, bowling alleys, and stadiums everywhere, so there's always so much to do. You don't have to smoke or drink to have fun, in Boston or anywhere, really.

Not much. My recomendation: make friends outside Emerson.

I will never go to an Emerson party ever agian. As much as I appreciate the diversity, it wasn't for me. Call friends from BU, BC and Northeastern and go to their parties. A lot of people here are too invovled in their studies to even drink/party I found too. Since we are such a specialized school people are into their studies more because they know exactly what they want to do starting their freshmen year usually.

Social life is ok. There is a lot of chicks and not too many strait guys, so for us strait guys that puts the odds way in our favor which is nice. People are always open and friendly, and no one ever sleeps ever. The entire student body is clinically sleep deprived, but thats how it goes. We party a lot, and we smoke a lot of pot. And there is everything to do in the city, so boredom is not a problem.
