Emerson College is a great school for the arts. It is in the heart of Boston and students benifit from the culture and life of the city. It is important to get involved with projects outside of class and it's cool that credit can be recieved for that participation. Media and film courses are excellent and their is everything imaginable for a student to learn from: a radio station, tv programs, film projects, the list goes on. t is a great school but very expensive.

Emerson's film program is really one of the strongest in the country. Even students who aren't majoring in film can be involved in the production of all the films that are made each semester. Film students get to use a camera second semester of their freshman year, and writing students get into workshops at the same time. The hands-on nature of Emerson is great, and there's always a speaker, or some community event to go to every night of the week.
