Read moreI transfered to Emmanuel from Marymount Manhattan College in 2004. I couldn't have made a better choice. The psychology department was great, and is even better now that they have a neuroscience specialization and more emphasis on student research. The professors were easy to contact, interesting, motivating, and were practicing in the field. I made lifelong friends at Emmanuel, and found it easy to fit in. The dorms were clean, and despite complaining about the cafeteria at the time, now I miss it. I cannot find a crepe as great as Francisco's! I prefer the small atmosphere and am proud that the president of the college is a nun. Did I also say the location is perfect? We would walk to the Back Bay almost every weekend, and it was easy to walk to parties at NEU and WIT. Might I add, although the school does have less rigorous admissions standards than schools like BC and BU, I felt the academics were fabulous. I worked my butt off, studied hard for every exam, and wrote papers early so I wouldn't be procrastinating. I have never felt so motivated and organized since leaving EC. Just like any other college, this school is what you make of it and the friends you surround yourself with. However, I felt it was pretty easy to be motivated and find great friends at this school (especially compared to MMC). I knew people who transferred out of EC and then came back the following year because they realized no...
Read moreI graduated from Emmanuel College in 1982, so it has been some years. However, I recently visited the campus with a niece who is exploring Boston-area schools, and my impressions were the very same as when I first explored Emmanuel in 1978. The college is exceptional. I can think of no other that offers so much for such an economical investment. Geographically, you are immersed in America's favorite college town -- Boston. And by immersed, I mean you can hear the Fenway Park crowd, walk mere blocks to Kenmore Square, and take up an internship at a Harvard-associated institution just next door (I did!). You have that gorgeous gothic architecture with ivy clinging to brick, which captures the ideal image many have of a college, but at the same time, students are welcoming, authentic, and as interested in your achievement as you are. What has changed about Emmanuel, besides enrolling men (a wise step forward), is that, due to smart business decisions made by its president, Janet Eisner, S.N.D., the school is now an impressive state-of-the-art academic facility. But even as I marveled at the beautiful learning environments, I felt the same pang of belonging I felt decades ago... this is a school that cares about its students and encourages them to grow and move among areas of study until they've found the one that's just right. And it's a fun place to be for four years. If I could only go back for another...
