Emerson College Top Questions

My school is small, which I like, but I think that if it were bigger there would be a bigger selection of classes to choose from, and I think that my major could use more classes.

It focuses on the HOW but not enough on the WHY. Students here know how to do but not how to inspire and innovate.

There should be more facilities for studying, i.e., a bigger library with more periodicals, books, computers, printers, and group workspaces.

The worst thing about my school is that although it is diverse in thought and personality, it is not very diverse ethnically and culturally. There also isn't a lot of campus unity. The school spirit for sports is very low, but there is a lot fo support for arts productions. I would like it if there was more mingling between different majors, but I guess you just have to go out there and do that on your own.

The worst thing about Emerson is the smoking community. Living on oncampus housing means the inability to walk thorough the exterior door without hitting a wall of smoke, no matter what the time of day.

Emerson College is an expensive school with sub-par financial aid availability

The worst part about the school is its lack of communication between departments. Most people only have friends in their major, which makes the school less diverse. It is possible to make friends in other departments, but it's rare that you will run into them on campus unless you arrange a meeting.

The worst thing about my school is how insulated the community of students can become. You are living in the middle of the city, but the school environment is not easily breached by the influence of the city. This is an easy problem to remedy, you just have to take initiative and discover the city on your own. Explore and have your own experiences.
