Hello! and the like: In which Ben rambles about Emerson hoping you get excited
Emerson College! No, it was not founded by Ralph Waldo Emerson, but it’s still pretty great. You get to see some of Boylston, and I’ll tell you a bit of stats.Piano Row and Dorms: In which Ben shows off a messy/empty room
Dorms at Emerson are for on-campus living. Often upperclassmen get off-campus apartments, but currently you are guaranteed housing for 3 years. All the dorms are suite style, ranging from singles to quads (mostly doubles though) that all connect to a common area and a shared bathroom. Piano Row, Colonial, 2 Boylston Place, and Paramount are all about of Emerson’s dorms currently... that is until Little Buildings is finished up.The Dining Hall: In which Ben shows the boujee new DH
The DH is a hub on campus, for sure. Upperclassmen, with their off-campus meal plans (or no meal plan at all) rely on underclassman to swipe them in for the all-you-can-eat stations of food ranging from hamburgers to vegan-friendly meals. Some people aren’t big fans of Sodexo, the catering company that provides the college food, but in all honesty, it’s at least a step up from the high school cafeteria. Oh, and there are flavor shots on the soda fountains. It’s fancy, peeps.Time to Fly: In which Ben is extra and says goodbye to you on an airplane
THAT’S ALL FOLKS! Hope you enjoyed the tour. I’m just going to leave you guys with some words of advice. Hope to see you at Emerson!
