    It's a great school, with great facilities and quality classes. That being said, however, it is quite expensive.

    I give it five stars now because I see many Emerson grads who go on to be very successful. But I don't think you can accurately gauge the bang for your buck at any school until you see what your degree will do for you.

    Yes, it's expensive. But you pay for what you get - which is a lot. Emerson provides their students with great resources to pursue their passions. They give student orgs. funding to do what they please (within reason). Their facilities are clean and well decorated. (You don't feel like you're in a prison while in class or at the library). Plus they hire the best professors to give you the best education.

    My biggest issue attending this school is the cost. I am not a rich girl, and I am taking out a lot of loans to go here, but I am doing so because I have faith that my experience at Emerson will give me the tools I need to succeed in the future so that I can pay off those loans ASAP!
