College Review What is your overall opinion of this school? The best thing about Emerson is probably its location. Going to school right at Boston Commons is pretty cool. It's also accessible from any of the subway lines. Basically, you can live anywhere and be able to get to Emerson pretty quickly. Boston is the ultimate college town and I think the heart of it is right around the Commons. There are so many colleges right there that you meet students from other schools as well. 858 Likes Like This Answer Already Liked This Answer Thank you, this item will be reviewed. What are the academics like at your school? I'm a grad. student at Emerson now and I wish I would have done my undergraduate work here. My area of study is creative writing and there are so many great writers who teach here that I wish I would have had four more years as an undergrad. to get to know them. I hear people who are in communication and publishing get excellent jobs. I meam, I'm trying to be a writer so it's obviously going to be more difficult. Emerson does have a good reputation all the way around though, and I'm hoping my masters degree will help me land a good teaching job while I try to write. 276 Likes Like This Answer Already Liked This Answer Thank you, this item will be reviewed. Describe the students at your school. Emerson, like most Boston schools, is very liberal. I'd say Emerson is even more liberal than most. Different types of students certainly interact with each other and everyone is accepted. There are studnets from all over the country. 580 Likes Like This Answer Already Liked This Answer Thank you, this item will be reviewed. What are the most popular student activities/groups?

Stereotypes (mainly what students from BU, BC, etc. think) are that there are a lot of gay Emerson students and also a lot of rich students. 797 Likes Like This Answer Already Liked This Answer Thank you, this item will be reviewed. Is the stereotype of students at your school accurate? I don't fall into either category, and while I have friends who do, I also have plenty of friends who do not. There are a lot of kids just playing around with daddy's money who don't seem to be connected to the real world, but you'll get that at BU, BC, etc. as well. 831 Likes Like This Answer Already Liked This Answer Thank you, this item will be reviewed.
