Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Emerson Police clearly aren’t state troopers. They’re visible on campus, but it’s usually the same two or three cops that you always see, and they aren’t looking to throw the book at somebody. The cops are generally around to keep the students safe from other suspicious activity that may be happen on campus. They work to protect the campus from outsiders more than from itself. As far as enjoying yourself with a six-pack or bottle of Jack Daniel’s, you should be fine—as long as you’re smart about it. You’ll get a feel for your RA and what you can and cannot get away with. As long as you use your head, which admittedly can be difficult halfway through the night, you can easily stay out of trouble. Of course, the easiest way to avoid drama with your RA or the police is to take your partying off campus.

There are a few pesky rules about food in the labs and where students are allowed to smoke, but any level-headed student can figure out why these rules are in place. Basically, if students use common sense, as well as some genuine consideration for others, they can all get along just fine. And most of the time, they do.

Red Tape

We are all really happy about the new President, Lee Pelton, who is proving to be a really forward-thinking and progressive guy. More than willing to talk to students about anything, he is just a down-to-earth person. However, some of the Offices and Departments within the College are a tad hard to deal with at times.

Skipping Class

Emerson handles absences like high school does, if you miss more then two of a class per semester you will fail the class. Although it is entirely important to actually attend class, it should be the students responsibility. It is annoying to be treated like an immature 14 year old who needs punishments when we make a decision about class. Unless you are in the hospital dying, professors don't accept excuses. They say 2 absences no matter what the reason. It's frustrating and feels like we are being treated like children.

Not Terrible, but Alcohol Violations Suck

It is easy to acquire alcohol and drink a lot very often, but you need to exercise common sense. You cannot run around the halls belligerent or blast music at 4 in the morning because alcohol violations can really suck. As long as you are not an idiot it is not a problem getting messed up as often as you want.
