Name of college:[|Emerson College] Location: 120 Boylston Street Boston, MA 02116-4624

__GETTING IN__ Emerson College is located on 120 Boylston street. Emerson College isn't as hard of a school to get into as any other colleges may be. Emerson accepts 47% of their applicants. They want an 85-90 average but that is not the only way you may be accepted. Emerson would also look at your extra curricular activities and programs you have participated in the past. Emerson College requires you to take the SAT's or ACT's to sign up for the college. To attend Emerson it cost $32,658, and to stay on campus it cost $13,422. For financial aid they give 51 % of the need to help most students. My rating for the getting in topic will be a 3 because they have high expectations for the students applying for the school, but they could help more with students financial aid.

__[|ACADEMICS]__ In Emerson College the class maximum is 25 if not there are less students. They have a lot of special programs.For example acting, broadcast journalism , and film studies. Emerson also have a lot of majors. For instance they have film/video production, performing arts, writing, and literature and publishing. I would rate this category a 4. It deserves a 4 because they provide a lot of academic features for the students, and you are able to access the teachers in this college unlike most big colleges.

__STUDENT LIFE__ At Emerson College they have a lot of things for students to keep active. They have Fraternities and sororities. 2% of the students in Emerson are in fraternities, and 3% of students are in sororities. Other then that they have a lot of sports you can participate in. For example they have basketball, soccer, tennis, softball, and cross country. 48% of their students live on campus. 99% of first year students live on campus and 55% of all undergrads live on campus housing. I rate this category a 4, just because of the fact that they have lots of sports, and have fraternities and sororities.There are lots of colleges that don't have fraternities or sororities.

__MY COMFORT LEVEL__ From where I live and where the college is the distance is 208 miles. It would take 3 hours and 59 mins for me to get there. Since that is the case I rather live on campus. The weather over there follows the same weather New York does so I am comfortable with the weather. On the campus there are 11% Hispanic/Latino, 3% African american, 60% white, and 6% two or more races. I might feel a little uncomfortable not having so much of my race around my surroundings. Emerson is a private school so I like the fact of that. My rating for this is a 3.I don't mind the travel time to get to the college but I rather live on campus. Also I don't have a problem with the school being a private coeducation university, most people will not have to be worried
