Emerson College

Mo is a really cool guy, you never know what he's going to say next and his assignments aren't boring or tedious to complete.

Jason Roush

Jason rocks! Few profs are both hilarious and tremendously knowledgeable. He can seem condescending if you don't get his sense of humor, but he tries ...

I'm not surprised Cher is rated highly -- she is easy, funny, and makes you do stupid projects instead of teaching. She doesn't teach art chronologica...

University Reviews

I was at Emerson for two semesters and got so much out of them. Emerson is in a busy city and has upbeat energy with a creative learning environment. But when it comes to details, it isn't as great... The food could have been MUCH better. The school ignores social, race, and sexual assault issues and most of my teachers were bullies.

It's a good and growing college in the heart of Boston. Come here for communications, film, theatre, and maybe journalism, or just don't come here at all.

Emerson is way too expensive and they spend their money on pointless things, and there's currently not nearly enough social space and dining options. Hopefully this will change when the construction on campus is done. There's so much stuff to do on campus that I barely leave. I wish the dorm rooms were a bit bigger. The DH food is mediocre.

i mean. its a great school, you just gotta make the most of it

To put it simply, Emerson is an arts school - basically everyone here is planning on pursing something with little to no job security, so everyone is always really pushing themselves to succeed. There's tons of organizations to join, and basically everyone finds one that they like. Seriously, join an organization. They give you crazy connections.

This school is alright but if I had the chance to do it all over again I dont know if Id go here again. But I do think it will give me opportunities to be successful in my field.

This school is for a very specific niche of people. This is not your typical college experience. The Emerson name, its network, and connections are endless. Join clubs! That's how you make friends. Avoid the food. People who say they didn't like their time here did not put in enough effort. Work hard academically and socially and you'll succeed!

Emerson College has little to no structure/communication between departments; from faculty to students. The opportunities that are available are presented last minute and there is little availability to really get involved in much unless you are in a specific social clique. This school could use a new foundational structure for communication.

This school is amazing but could have better diversity among the student body

I happen to be really stupid and can't finish college for the life of me (this is my 4th institution and I'm finally dropping out), but please AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE!!! Everyone here is stuck in their delusional liberal bubble and making friends here is harder than stomaching the food. Seriously. Just don't.

Its a truly amazing place

emerson is really great if you buy into it. you have to be really open to all the new concepts they throw at you.

Make connections, stay open, this place can quickly feel like home.

Dont come to Emerson if you want to be here for anything else aside from your studies. Seriously. Its kinda wonky and everyone always has at least one issue and I know so many freshmen trying to transfer already because of extraneous reasons, but honestly, if the major you are seeking is perfect for you here, let that be your decision for coming.
