Any Emerson College Forumites?

I've pretty much decided on it for next year, although admittedly the biggest turnoff is that I'm guessing that an art and communication school in Massachusetts (especially in Boston) is going to be pretty one-sided as far as the political spectrum goes.

UNH probably has a nicer mix of politics, but this has better facilities for my major and establishing connections for getting a job after college, so they won (another factor is that I'd rather be stuck in Boston without a car than stuck in Durham, New Hampshire without a car because they don't allow you to have a car freshman year and discourage leaving the campus on weekends).

So is there anyone there who will understand me?

Ernie started a college?

Go, if it's a technically good school, which in that field, skills are critical. Avoid politics, stress art for art's sake, denigrate socialist realism on aesthetic grounds.

There ya go.

The politics of the school shouldn't have much influence on your choice.

In any event, you certainly show that you think for yourself.

The critical question is the facilities that hey have for your major, and what their reputation is in that field.

In any event, the Boston academic community is a great one, and you will ceretainly enjoy yourself and get a good education.
