description: Introduction from the AuthorWhen I began my college search, the top two qualities for my ideal school first, to be located in a big city; and second, to have a journalism program. Needless to say, these aren’t the same things that other students look for, and I realize now that these factors are not the most important things about Emerson College (especially because I switched from journalism to writing, literature, and publishing before even taking a journalism class).The qualities about Emerson that have turned out to be the most important and worthwhile parts of the school are the students that I met here, the professors who became my friends and have helped me immeasurably, and the opportunities to get experience in my desired career field. These are the qualities about Emerson that make it one-of-a-kind, and make its students proud of their years spent here.Emerson is changing and growing. The school is relocating the dorms from one side of the Boston Common to the other. Emerson is building new facilities for growing classes, and most importantly, Emerson is preparing its students for a changing job market. The school has begun increasing its admission standards and breadth of offered classes. This is a great time to begin school at Emerson. As the College continues to grow, the opportunities for learning and grabbing internships grow as well.If you’ve gotten this far in your college search, you probably already know that Emerson is a communications and performing arts school. You probably also know that it has limited majors, but those that it does have are very specialized, and definitely cool. The next thing you should be researching is something a lot more subjective. Is Emerson going to provide you with the best college experience—and by that I mean an academically, socially, culturally, and financially sound experience—that you can get? Hopefully the following pages will help you determine that.Jordan Ross, AuthorEmerson College
