Whoever you heard that from, its true. Emerson is a good program, and they have experts because they offer the MA as well. They have good cameras and stuff, but you really have to fight to get what you want. Its not so bad when you realise that in the real world nothing gets handed to you. It is expensive also, but they do have a pretty good financial aid that i know a lot of people used to get through the program. Not a bad college at all, if anyone is interested in applying.

From what I have heard, this school has some great production and post production equipment but its difficult to get at. Also, While things are ok when going there, the students are kind of misled about the industry. I know that its a big gamble to try and get into such a uge and competitive industry if you don't know the right people, and the admin at ths school apparently claim that they can get you a job (unlikely). Anyways, if anyone has had a good experience in terms of learning a lot of stuff and actually getting work in their field, let me know.
not so great.
Honestly, I didn't have the best experience at Emerson. There was some good stuff that you mentioned, but there was all kinds of stuff that was so unbelievably disorganised. The admin had things all over the place, the students accounts would always get messed up, the lottery system of giving away classes was completely unfair, and really stupid system. The people who got any class they wanted played varsity, or were in an honors program. The equipment check out system was also almost unbearable. It was super expensive, and thats the only reason why it worked at all. At one point I also heard that there was a drug ring running out of the dorms... so i guess that kind of gives the other side of things...
