<p>With one week left to make a decision, I challenged my daughter who has narrowed her college choices down to UMass Amherst & Emerson College to give her research skills a try and prove to me why Emerson is worth $120,000 more for a 4 year degree than UMass. Does anyone have an opinion on this subject? Please help!</p>
<p>Hi, your D did not get any merit aid from Emerson? My D is a freshman (acting major) and she loves it. But I can feel your pain. Emerson does have a better rep for journalism, but I do not know if the $120,000.00 is worth it. At UMass you have to really watch out for the major party scene, students tend to get caught up in it. When to a prep school really close by and my sister attended. Many of her friends did not make it.</p>
