Student review [#2338]
at Emerson College

Emerson is an amazing environment for creative, hard working people aspiring to impact the world through media, social sciences or communications. Known for its film production and journalism degrees, it is fair to its students by giving them plenty of opportunities and tools to achieve their creative visions. Not all courses are amazing and neither are all the teachers. Rate my professor is a good way to gauge the teachers’ abilities and traits. Otherwise it is really up to you to find which teachers are inspiring and which seem to be there for a job. Though I’ve had some very boring, uncommunicative, and uninspiring teachers at Emerson, almost all of the staff is certainly passionate about what they do and that is what makes this organization great. You may not receive an ivy league experience at Emerson, or even a typical college experience, but you will meet some of the greatest people you will ever know and you will have some of the best days of your formative life in this odd place. Lastly, in my opinion, you could not beat the location of Emerson. Near the intersection of almost every transit line in the greater Boston area, it is pretty easy to get anywhere you need to go and for a pretty good price by train, car or bus. Not to mention that the Emerson campus is right across the street from the Boston Common and Public Garden, two amazing hang out spots and the host of many public gatherings including hemp fest, 4/20 marijuana celebration, the Boston marathon and many more conventions/protests.
