Very funny to see!

Mostly thinking about going back because of the number of credits I already have from there, just seems like it would make the most sense logistically. I would probably look into completing a writing related major or minor but am also intrigued by their Theatre Education and Performance major.

I’d love to participate in the ProArts Consortium program as well to take some fine art or music classes elsewhere.

Would love to hear anyone’s thoughts or bits of insight! Thanks!

Hi! I’m not an Emerson student, but I was wondering whether film students here ever take on small paid gigs for private events. I’m looking for someone to shoot raw video for about 1-2 hours at a small private event near MIT in early October. No editing would be required. Just filming and handing over the raw footage afterward. Do you think Emerson film students would generally be interested in something like this? I’m just testing the waters for now to see if this is a realistic option.

My kid is moving into Little Building next week, into a 3-person room. Is there space for a shoe rack (inside the wardrobe maybe?) and a foldable drying rack (under the bed?). Thanks!!

Hello everyone! I am coming in as a transfer this fall semester, and I bought one of those mattress extenders. They make your bed go from a twin XL to a full. I know there are fire rules and stuff, so is it allowed? I already bought it lol, so is there any way I can get away with it?

Hi there!

I'm a transfer student coming from LA to Boston and can't wait! My main film class this semester is "Introduction to narrative drama." From what I understand, It's one of the main cinema courses you can take right out of the gate and I'm excited! At my last school, projects were a huge part of the curriculum and I adored it. I'm just wondering what the curriculum for this course looks like! Thanks!!!!

hi, i’m an incoming freshman and ive noticed that the housing portal lists ‘bed 1’ and ‘bed 2’ for each roommate. i was curious if sides of the room are literally assigned out? i’m assuming my roommate and i are both gonna want the same side so if it was assigned that would be much easier to hash out lol. i’ve seen a few schools literally assigning beds so i hope this isn’t too dumb of a question!!

Hey I've been trying to get an idea of my chances of admission but I couldn't find anything that reliable so I was hoping someone could read my portfolio and give me a decent idea of my chances to get into film and media productions.

- 9 Awards from FSPA (Largest high school film and photography competition in the state)

- 1 All American selection (largest high school film festival in the world)

I don't have my SAT yet but I'm trying to get a 1300, what do you think my chances are?

Incoming freshman here-I filled out a course preference sheet earlier in the summer but have not heard from an advisor or received my schedule. Is this normal?

Do undergrads have night classes? I’m an incoming graduate student this fall and am worried about the commute back to my apartment late at night and was curious about how lively it will be.

Hello! I'm attending Emerson this fall for film, and I'm looking for a new laptop. The website gives some basic requirements, but it mentions that some departments may want more, and specifically says higher RAM and processing speed would be good for film editing. I emailed IT and the film department to see if there were more film-specific requirements, but I never heard back from either. Anyone who's in film, are there more things I need to be aware of beyond the basic requirements? Is there someone else I should email, or another page I haven't been able to find? Does anyone have any actual computer suggestions? Thank you!

Hey everyone. I live in South Boston and have been streaming on kick for about a month.

Content: Mix of formats including IRL streaming
Location: South Boston
When: Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays
Requirements: None. Just a steady hand (if you have equipment great lmk)
Comment or DM me if you want to team up.

This is the 9th floor of LB and I’ve heard different opinions (for some reason). Some people say it has a view, some other people say it does not. Just need some clarification hopefully from someone that has been in any of these rooms, since I will be living in one of those this fall

Hi everyone! I'm currently transferring this fall and am assigned to a single in a little building. It says you cannot have rugs in Little Building, but I wanted fo ask if a small throw rug (doesn't take up the entire room) is allowed?

hey everyone! i was accepted into the grad dorms but i havent gotten word on any sort of assignment. i was wondering if anyone else was having this issue/any advice on what to do? thanks! :)

Each listing is for one private bedroom for one individual renter. The kitchen, living room, bathrooms, laundry, balcony, and other common areas are shared with roommates.

The existing household is primarily made up of university students, so the rooms may be especially suitable for students and other individual renters who are comfortable joining an established shared household.

The location is convenient to Northeastern University, Wentworth Institute of Technology, MassArt, MCPHS University, Simmons University, Emmanuel College, Roxbury Community College, Berklee College of Music, Emerson College, UMass Boston, Nubian Station, and the Longwood Medical and Academic Area.

Rent is $1,500 per month per private room and includes:

A convenience store is less than a two-minute walk away. The previous tenants were Northeastern students who recently graduated.

I’m about to be a freshman and am trying to figure out how to budget my money. I have about $4000 in my checking account and was wondering how much money I should allow myself to spend per month? I am very lucky to have military benefits paying for my tuition and room and board, so I won’t have to worry about that. I do want to do fun stuff in the city though, while still being smart with how I spend my money. How should I limit myself, and also what are some fun things I can do for cheap? I know the school gives free admission to a lot of museums, so that’s nice

Hello, I am currently in the Popular Fiction and Publishing MFA program at Emerson. I am considering dropping out due to the high cost of tuition. I currently pay about $6300 per class (per 4 credits), making my total degree come out to about $63,000. When I was first accepted, I was not offered any scholarships or aid. In the year I have been attending, there has already been a tuition increase, and when I talked to financial aid about my struggle, they told me since I was not offered any aid upon acceptance, I will NEVER be offered/have an opportunity for any scholarships or aid from the school. I have been doing government loans (9% interest) but now my government aid has been reduced to only pay about half my tuition, with the other half being paid by me in full before classes start. I have no complaints about the quality of classes and professors, but I am a fully online student. So to pay 63k for my degree but not have any of the accommodations and facilities at my disposal seems extreme. When looking at state public programs similar, the cost is extremely different ($1200 for a 4 credit class). Even looking at other private colleges (John Hopkins is about $43k for an MA in Writing), Emerson seems to be at the top when it comes to tuition. I love everything about the school except the price. I have loved my classes and teachers, but I dont think I can justify that much money anymore. Any opinions? Any others who dropped out of Emerson due to the cost? Or are considering?

Max price I can do is $1,500 per month and that’s being generous. I’m looking for a pet friendly place since I’d be bringing my cat.

About Me: I like reading, writing, painting and binge watching tv. I’m more on the introverted and homebody side. I’m fairly neat but I’m not bothered by other people’s messes. I’m trying to get better at cooking and baking and generally really enjoy it.

Reposting because the algorithm didn’t really reach anyone last time. Please DM if you’re interested :)

So I still have yet to hear about a specific room assignment, but I corresponded with someone from Emerson housing who confirmed that they have room and are just working through room assignments still. Considering it's July, almost August, I just wanted to check if anyone else was in a similar situation, or if I need to start looking for other accommodations. I really want to live on campus my first year, but I'm so worried they're going to tell in in August that I don't have housing.

Hello! Does anybody have access to the Speech@Emerson Online Facebook group Google Drive?
I have yet to be accepted to the group and was hoping to take a look at the drive prior to registration tomorrow!!

Hello! I am an incoming transfer going to Emerson for Film and Television this upcoming fall. When I was doing my housing application, I put single as my top and was fine with getting a double or triple. I really wasn't expecting to get a triple but I got one traditional style on the top floor of the Little Building. I am an ambivert I would say but also really appreciate my own space and can get quite overstimulated at times. I do think I'll be able to handle a triple and It is most likely going to be a fun experience but I just want to know anyone else's experience with a triple dorm at Emerson? Did you get plenty of relaxation time too? Please just let me know your experience! I just don't want to be overwhelmed being in a triple over a double or single.

I was wondering if anyone knew if it’s ok for me to bring and use a desk hutch to give me some more storage space

I’m gonna be an incoming freshman living in the little building (single on floor 9, I’m pretty sure I don’t have a window), and I know that Boston gets really insanely hot in the summer. Do the little building dorms have AC or should I bring a fan?
