Emerson College: Life in the Big City

Emerson has one of the best locations a college can have. It might not have an actual campus with a quad, but the Boston Common is pretty much the same thing. There is plenty to do and lots to see. The Esplanade is beautiful, as wells as the view from the Harvard bridge. Emerson is right next to 3 of the major subway (T) stops, so getting around is very easy. There are many other colleges in the area, so the majority of the city is comprised of college students.

Downtown Boston and Much More

Emerson College is located in the center of Downtown Boston, just in front of the Boston Common. Chinatown is right next door (literally, walk down Boylston Street and you're there), and nearby Chinatown is Downtown Crossing, where all the markets are. But if you want some designers, Newbury Street is a five-seven minute walk from Emerson. Want to go somewhere else, but don't have a car? Take the T! It's the subway that links Boston and other cities, which means weekend trips to Cambridge for Harvard parties or poetry nights at the Cantab in Central Square is made easy in a fifteen-twenty minute ride. There's no reason to not know what to do in Boston as there's everything around. Emerson doesn't have a campus, the CITY is the campus! Go to the Harbor, watch some theatre in the South End, get some Latino food in Jamaica Plain, go anywhere you like.
