Report Card

Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Most students are thrilled with Emerson. From the professors to the production equipment to the classes, many students feel they’re being well-prepared for the real world. At Emerson, students have more internship opportunities, well-known industry professionals as professors, and quality classes than many larger schools. Since Emerson students come with fervor to learn their trade, they end up bolstering each other in workshops and projects. Some students gripe about the long lines and difficulty dealing with the administrative aspects at Emerson, such as the financial aid office and the registrar. These experiences can obscure the positive parts of the educational experience, but most students agree that something very exciting and positive is going on at Emerson, and there are a lot of resources to take advantage of.

Emerson students are matchless in their excitement to learn, create, and get involved in activities that will better them academically and in character. Though it’s common to boo-hoo about the unpredictable weather, the dismal parking and driving situation, and early curfews in Boston, most Emerson students love their temporary home. The chances to work with award-winning faculty are one of a kind, as are the students. Emerson isn’t perfect, but it is a fantastic place for students who are willing to learn and work hard for what they care about. Your time spent at Emerson will certainly not be easily forgotten.

Nightlife at Emerson College

So Little Time!

Boston is a thriving city with so much going on practically every night. The one huge downfall is transportation. The T closes around 12:30 each night, which means you always have to leave parties early so you aren't forced to pay the ridiculous cab fares. Also, there are no under-21 clubs in the city, which many find annoying, but there are plenty across the river in Cambridge. But again, your time spent there is limited by the availability of public transportation.

Parking at Emerson College

Parking Isn't Necessary

Emerson students are not allowed to have a car on campus because there is absolutely no need for one. It is a very small urban campus, so all of the buildings are only a few steps from each other. Students who live off-campus almost always prefer to take public transportation instead of drive because it is easy and convenient and driving in downtown Boston is a nightmare for anyone. On move-in or move-out days, however, you kind of have to fend for yourself if you want to get your things in and out of a building on Boylston.

A-

Never Felt Unsafe

Keep in mind, the Emerson campus is in the middle of downtown Boston. So always be alert when walking alone at night. Besides that I have never felt unsafe on campus. With everything being within a few blocks there is hardly any problems, however, if there is Public Safety shoots everyone an email immediately.
