College Prowler Take
Emerson students will probably tell you that everyone on campus is pretty attractive, which is likely because whoever you ask looks a lot like everyone else. Emerson’s population likes to look good, although “good” is a subjective term. There are some really well-dressed kids who look good by anyone’s standards, and some interesting styles that are attractive in their own unique way. On the whole, Emerson isn’t a campus of slobs who roll out of bed and trudge to class, but this is probably because most students don’t live on campus. Don’t cringe at the thought that everyone is dressing to impress, though. Emerson students just look good naturally. Many students emphasize the sexual preference of the guys on campus, claiming that a lot of them are gay. What this really means is that there might be more homosexual students at Emerson, but, what’s for sure, is that everyone is welcome and accepted, which means students have a lot of pride in their lifestyle. A lot of students who visit Emerson are intrigued by the appearance of the student body. Some describe the general look as “art school-esque,” and find comfort in the fact that they may seem to fit in here. But please don’t make a decision based on looks. Emerson students have more depth than that, and so should you. Students Speak Out

The guys are pretty much either gay or film students, and primarily show off their True Religion and Rock & Republic jeans. Girls are very artsy and trendy. There are more attractive girls than guys, definitely. Both the guys and girls think they know everything, which is so annoying—everyone thinks they're right all the time.

A typical Emerson student is either a hipster or a cool geek. Everyone here pretty much fits into the same look/category, and everyone's really nice. People are very professional here, so they're focused more on that than the average college student who's focused on partying and living the "college life."

There's a huge mix of people here, so it's hard to really put any of the students into a category.

The guys are gay for a large part, and the girls like to hang out with them and date guys from other schools and graduate students. The remaining guys are lonely, or they have girlfriends from back home. And the film majors and acting/musical theatre majors, while hard to avoid, are easy to stay separated from, which is nice. |

What is truly unique about the student body is that it’s not compartmentalized; you’re likely to walk by a circle of kids hacking out in front of one of the dorms, and see the kid with the three-foot spiked blue Mohawk handing a cigarette to the kid with the rugby sweater and Birkenstocks. It can be a little trendy at times,with a bit of conforming to ‘the rebellion,’ but I think most of it is in earnest. |
FactsBirth Control Available?
Yes - Planned Parenthood at 1055 Commonwealth Ave.
Social Scene
There is no social hierarchy on campus. There are groups that can be generalized based on style of dress or major, but you'll find that those generalizations don't hold up very long. Emerson students are very social and don't keep to a small group of friends.
Hookups or Relationships?
There are a fair amount of people in relationships; a large amount of those are long distance, too. Of course, there are plenty of students who are looking for non-committal nights on the town, too.
Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls
Unlike other big universities in Boston, Emerson doesn’t provide the best opportunities to meet your next potential boyfriend or girlfriend. There are plenty of students who come to Emerson already attached and committed to long-distance relationships. Due to the College's tight-knit population and its reputation as a haven for students with alternative lifestyles, many of the female students will find that many of the the guys are gay. Your best bet is to meet someone from one of the neighboring colleges by attending an off-campus party.
Dress Code
Emerson does not dress like your high school (most likely). Here, the students look like the kids who dressed weird at your high school. Yes, there are plenty of well-dressed students. Yes, there are some preppy kids. But please expect more tight pants, Clash T-shirts, studded belts, mohawks, dyed hair, and leather than you are used to.
