I would say that the type of person who shouldn't this school is someone who is unsure of what they want their career to be. The reason for this is Emerson offers a very specialized education within the majors it offers. While that offers a great education someone who decides the want significantly change their major might be out of luck and will probably have to transfer as a few did after my first semester.
Someone who loves a big university setting. The liberal artistic film drama or writing major would love this school. Also Boston, a city, provides almost as much learning opportunity as the college itself. This wonderfull duality cnnot be overlooked and is the essence of Emerson's brilliance. A great art school in a great city nothing more wonderfull.
An individual who is not interested in a college that is a mix of arts and communication, and particularly someone who is interested in pursuing a career such as nursing, engineering, or other science related careers. Although my college and major has a lot of science courses involved, they are all primarily focused on the fields of speech-language-pathology and audiology. Emerson puts emphasis on communication and arts, so if those are not subjects an individual feels passionate about, then they should not attend Emerson College.
Someone looking for a big school, large party scene, or rural campus. Also anyone looking to pursue math or science, or someone unsure of what they want to study.
I caution those who are more conservative or are looking for a scholastic enviroment. This school is very dedicated to the arts and hands-on learning, and book learning is sparse with little attention given to core classes. The students are very focused on resume building.
There honestly isn't a type of person that "shouldn't" attend Emerson. While it is an artistic, largely Liberal institution, one can find their niche at Emerson, regardless of artistic ability or political background. Emerson does not have a strong foundation in sciences or math however, so those wishing to be scientists, mathematicians, doctors, or anything of the sort would be better suited at a larger university that offers courses well fit to their career desires.
Because Emerson is a city school, I would advise students who need a close-knit campus college experience (or a big athletic scene) to steer clear. There isn't a huge campus and many students commute from other parts of the city.
People who do not know what they want to study should not attend Emerson.
Someone who has a clear idea what direction they want their life to take after college.
The type of person that shouldn't attend Emerson is a mathematics based thinker. There is only one science major at Emerson, which is awesome but besides that, the typical student is very music, and theatre based performer. Also, different politcal views are welcome, however, conservatives may get bombarded by liberal activists.
Someone who does not know what they want to do with their life. Also, anyone who is easy offended.
someone who isn't sure exactly what they want to do yet
Someone who is lazy, or unfocused; someone wgo doesn't know what they want
A close-minded, extremely conservative individual should not attend this school.
Emerson is a very career-focused school, which means that it might not be the best fit for someone who isn't quite sure which field they want to enter yet. This school is for driven individuals who know what they want, and have enough confidence in their abilities to go get what they want.
Someone close-minded
Someone who doesn't like to step out of there comfort zone.
A quiet person who does not accept things out of the usual norm.
You should NOT attend this school if you are not sure what you want to do in life, especially if your dream jobs fall outside of the few Emerson majors. This is NOT a place for kids who want a team to root for or kids that like "college parties." If you are expecting to do a lot of outdoors activities in New England, be warned that there is no outing club or anything of that sort. If you see college as a time to decide who you are by gaining a broad base of knowledge, don't come here.
