My Love Affair With Emerson College
There are so many wonderful things I could say about Emerson. The professors are fantastic, the classes (well, most of them) are very interesting, and the campus is in downtown Boston! Emerson also helped me out quite a bit with financial aid and made college affordable for me. The dorms are all pretty nice and the dining halls/cafes are better than other school cafeterias I've been in. Overall, I am madly in love with Emerson College and if you're looking for a career in the arts, this is your school!

Adventure Time!
Emerson is located in downtown Boston, so there's always something to do. The reason for the B+ grade is because the trains close around midnight or 1am, so it's pretty hard to travel in the wee hours of the morning unless you feel like walking/taking a cab. However, there are a ton of places to eat, bars, diners, a few clubs, museums (the MFA is open until 10pm!), sports venues, and places to shop. Never worried about being bored. Even if you're just hanging around the Commons or the Public Gardens, it's still fun if you bring some friends along. I'd say, though, skip the clubs and find some house parties. They're always way more fun!

I transferred to Emerson and I wish I came sooner! The classes are great, we have access to great equipment and technology, and the school really makes you feel welcome. I always find people in the offices really helpful and the teachers to be really knowledgeable. We have a lot of artistic freedom and it's a great school overall.
