Life at Emerson

Emerson is an urban college in the heart of Boston, where opportunities to learn, create, and connect are part of everyday life. Our downtown location puts internships, cultural institutions, media organizations, and industry leaders within walking distance of campus. Between classes, you can network with alumni, intern at a local television station, attend a film screening, or gather inspiration for your next creative project. While our residence halls offer a place to live and connect with friends, Boston provides endless opportunities to explore your interests, expand your network, and gain real-world experience. Here, your education extends far beyond campus—and your career can begin before graduation.

At Emerson, you have your pick of several on-campus dining options with menus designed to suit varied tastes and dietary preferences. Grab a bite to eat with friends, pick up a snack before class, or sit down to enjoy a dinner while reviewing your latest project. If you’re in a rush, you can take your meals to go and eat on your way to a film shoot, marketing internship, or study session in the Iwasaki Library.
