Emerson is incredibly accepting. It doesn't really matter what your race, gender, class, or sexuality is. People just like you for who you are. Plus, it's in the heart of Boston in the theatre district. The school is across the street from the common so there's always something to do. And the theatre scene at the school is amazing. They own two major theaters and several smaller ones and there's always something to get involved in.
Emerson College is located literally in the heart of a world class college city. The students that go here are so dedicated to their craft and art that being anywhere else wouldn't feel as at home as Emerson does.
The opportunities! We have so mnay chances to listen to professionals speak, get first pick on internships, and to make important connections for the future. That plus the real-life experience gives me such an edge over friends at other schools.
Almost everything! My friends are always jealous when Italk about Emerson. It's in the greatest location ever: the heart of Boston! I'm never bored! Not to mention all of the on-campus activities: comedy shows, theatre, clubs, open mic nights, its amazing! Then there's the teachers: they're the real deal. I value them for their knowledge, but even more for their connections. I know that when I graduate, they'll be an awesome reference on my job applications! And of course the alumni: Maria Menounos, Jay Leno, who wouldn't be jealous?
The location-- right in the heart of Boston across the street from the Common
Alumni network, internship experience, equipment, professors.
I brag about my real world experience. On any given day, I can be found walking the city, either on the way to an interview for an article I am writing, to City Hall for a public meeting, or just exploring the city. No where else would I be living in the center of a city, and experiencing such things as I do at Emerson. The academic, and "real" world experiences become one at this college.
It was incredibly easy to make friends as soon as I got to college; I felt as though I could have grown up with the peers I met in my dorm and the peers I met in my classes. Everyone is amiable and intelligent, giving the school a warm and inviting atmosphere. This took away any nervousness I had in beginning my college years.
When I tell my friends about my school, Emerson College, I always bring up the amazing sense of community and motivation that exists among students. Whether it is for a class project, or an idea that someone has that they must pursue outside of the school, there are always friends and students there willing to help, so that everyone can pursue and accomplish what they desire. Being a student at a film school, I stress how important this is and how helpful it can be in building crews for film productions and class projects.
I brag about the amazing opportunities and things that I am involved in . The people and companies affiliated with my school, and well as the urban location contribute to that.
That I had access to state of the industry equipment.
Emerson is such a centralized environment; students here are driven by things they absolutely love. We know what we want, and how to get it. We have unbelievable resources, including faculty, that help make this school current and innovative in teaching communications and the arts. Emerson is not a typical college: we are all here to become educated in our fields, and we prepare ourselves for the industries we will enter upon graduation. Our school spirit doesn't revolve around something petty like football-- we are all here to further our skills in whatever field we chose.
It's right in the center of Boston. There is so much going on and so much to do. My classes are also awesome, I get to work on film sets on weekends and write my own news articles.
I live in Boston an not in Ohio.
My school gives students a lot of freedom and has a great abroad program in the Netherlands. It put my best friend and I up in a hotel because they didn't have enough dorms; that's been sweet. By freedom I mean, for my research writing final grade we were allowed to disagree and defend our paper for 10 minutes in order to get a higher grade and see if the professor would reconsider.
Not only do I get to take classes in the my area of study (writing), but I also have enough extra credits to take classes in other areas that interest me. I've never taken a class that I considered a waste of time - even in the general education classes, I've learned something that I will probably use someime in my life.
