<p>I was wondering why Emerson doesn't rank high? Is Emerson a joke?</p>
<p>didnt that college appear on a MTV show...i think it was "True Story - I'm a high school senior"...?</p>
<p>I know an Emerson grad well. S/he knows many other grads. It is known for ppl who want careers in filmmaking, communications etc. S/he says that many industry ppl send their not so smart as (insert better school) kids there. S/he thought it was Ok but does some poor stuff in admin area (tried to start a law school then dropped ppl, not a good grad school), but s/he has many, many contacts in LA who do well and s/he did work at William-Morris for 5 years. S/he also knows many grads who are successful, so s/he poo-poos a lot and s/he was lucky to get in as a transfer.</p>
<p>Said Boston is fab for a Calif person to go, if you want the away experiance.</p>
<p>I think Emerson did come out on MTV.</p>
<p>One of the reasons I'm interested in Emmerson is because I've read comments of what the students are like and they seem like me. Like my personality is a perfect reflection of the typical students.</p>
<p>My major would be advertising/graphic design, something in that area. And I really really want to be out of Cali, so Boston sounds like a great city to be at.</p>
<p>I'm gay and I heard there's a big gay population at Emmerson and Boston University, but I'm stuck on what school to apply to. I would apply to both but that'll be a total of 9-10 applications that I'd have to fill out. Someone help. Boston or Emmerson?</p>
<p>yeah i wanna go to school in boston too...a lot!!....hopefully to northeastern if i get accepted</p>
<p>and about ur question...apply to both</p>
<p>Emerson is not a joke. There are tons of industry people who went there and you'll have good contacts. Friends says there is a large gay population for sure. Probably in the communications dept at BU too.</p>
<p>See what I like about Emerson it's that a small school and I like the small community thing, but what I like about BU is that it's a big school meaning more gay guys. This is so hard deciding between Emerson and BU.</p>
<p>Liek0806, I know what you mean about not being able to choose... One day I think that I manage to deal with a nonexistant gay population at a small school because I like the community so much, and then next day I feel like I HAVE to go to a big school that has lots of gay kids (NYU) or I'll die. It's driving me insane not being able to choose.</p>
