10 Reasons You Shouldn't Go To Emerson College

1. No one has ever heard of it

Especially not graduates like Jay Leno, Henry Winkler, Denis Leary, Bobbi Brown, and Kevin Bright.

2. Emerson never wins any awards

Unless you count landing at #10 on the Hollywood Reporter's Top 25 American Film Schools list, or being the #1 most LGBT-friendly school in the nation, according to the Princeton Review.

3. Living in the heart of Boston is so uneventful

There's never anything going on in the Theatre District, no one ever holds events on the Common or at the Esplanade, and there is absolutely nowhere to shop on Newbury Street or in Downtown Crossing.

4. The professors have too much real-world experience

They're so busy writing novels, being published in major newspapers, and working on popular TV shows.

5. You wouldn't ever want to study abroad

The castle in the Netherlands, the program in Valencia, Spain, and the LA campus definitely don't offer any enriching opportunities.

6. Networking is impossible

Besides The Emerson Mafia, which includes thousands of successful graduates willing to hook you up with jobs and internships, that is.

7. Nothing cool ever happens on campus

Ron Burgundy has never held a press conference at Emerson, there are no free screenings with special guests like Jake Gyllenhaal, and we never have impressive speakers.

8. Students are not at all involved outside of classes

They're only at incredible internships, leading on-campus organizations, pledging sororities and fraternities, holding film shoots, and getting published.

9. The people who attend Emerson are just like everyone else

There's definitely no uniqueness at Emerson. No one is quirky or original at all. You won't find Orientation Leaders dressing up and dancing, there aren't quidditch teams, and you'll never take classes like Love and Eroticism, or Writing the Film Musical.

10. Emerson students love their school too much

They're always talking about how happy they are and writing articles that prove their school is the best.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
