Reviews

The professors really make an effort to make sure students understand the material. The small student-to-faculty ratio allows for better comprehension and focused learning.

Being such a small school (there are roughly 500 students in the freshman class), Emmanuel is very community-driven: the student body is a family. There is something for everyone here, whether on campus or in the city of Boston - Emmanuel's extended campus.

Despite having high tuition costs (roughly $32,000), Emmanuel College is a private school funded by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. Their financial aid is wonderful; I don't know a single student that has not received a scholarship or grant from the school. Nearly everyone is paying less than half tuition.

Get to know faculty before you make your decision - Emmanuel didn't have the major I wanted and they helped me form my own curriculum in order to make an individualized major before I even enrolled. It is easy to network within the Emmanuel community, and the faculty will be more than willing to be flexible for your own academic needs.

Emmanuel College is great for students who want a big or small school - while the college has a small amount of students, it is still in the city, which (depending on your preference) provides a gateway to many different worlds. Division III Basketball, Tennis, Lacrosse, Soccer, Volleyball, Softball, and Cross Country, as well as many additional intramural sports provide athletic opportunities. Our heavily involved Theater Guild, award-winning Dance Team, and prestigious art program allow students to express their creativity. Altogether, a communal student body and a caring faculty are present for students looking for a home-away-from-home.

The professors and staff here at Emmanuel are great! They all have a passion for what they do and they genuinely care about their students. End of semester professor reviews help the school keep the best professors, weed out the bad, and improve all.

Emmanuel College is a very close community. It's very hard to be an outsider or outcast. There are always fun activities to promote school spirit and community building.

Despite the high cost of Emmanuel, there are plenty of scholarships and grants to go around. Most, if not all, students receive some sort of help from the school. The financial aid staff is incredibly helpful in tapping into financial resources, both on and off campus.

Take advantage of the fact that Emmanuel is such a small school. Due to its small size, the classroom setting is friendly and intimate, making it easier to get to know your classmates and professors. This is a crucial factor in becoming a successful student.

Emmanuel College is a small school in a large city. I chose the school because I wanted to be have a small school atmosphere, but the big city experience. For students who are from small cities or schools and want to have a big city experience without feeling lost, Emmanuel is a great choice!

I am a Biology major and the coursework is definitely rigorous and tough. With the surrounding hospitals and new science center it keeps you focused on your ending goals.

They have a very close-knit community and have hundreds of clubs and sports.

There is the new Wilkens Science Center that offers brand new laboratories to science students as well as an Admin. building. With all new study spaces and classrooms, it gives the students a place to go if the library isn't your style. The professors actually do care about you too. They know you by name and want you to succeed.

Always try and be yourself. There will be a lot of pressure to try and fit in with all of your new friends (at any school really).

Any one! Being a liberal arts school, we offer something to almost everyone! We have strong science programs and education programs.

Emmanuel College in Boston Massachusetts is great. Everyone at Emmanuel College, including staff, professors, and students are all welcoming. Emmanuel offers many ways in which to get involved on campus and in the Boston community.

I would recomend prospective students to look into programs of interest that Emmanuel offers. Emmanuel offers many programs and clubs run by both student and staff. These clubs and programs are a great way to become involved and meet new people on campus.

The academic rigor at Emmanuel can be challenging, but intriguing. The number of students in class at Emmanuel are small, so it is easy to build a strong relationship with your professors and peers. This becomes helpful if any questions ever arise in class- which they do. My biggest tip for prospective students is to build a relationship with your professors and complete work on time, so it does not build up to be too much.

The Dorm Life at Emmanuel is nice. Be open with your roomates. Share things that you have in common and things that may bother you. The best way to have a positive Dorm Life in college is to become aware of your roomates interests and needs.

Food and Dining is great at Emmanuel College. Learn when the cafes are open and enjoy. Don't eat too much though!

Boston offers so many interesting and fun things to do. With Fenway Park right down the street, going to the Redsox is one activity you will surely do when you attend Emmanuel. Other fun things to do include hanging out on the quad or just going out into the city with your friends.

Campus Safety at Emmanuel is good. The Campus Safety office is open 24-7 and Emmanuel has security guards in the dorms at the front desk each night. Campus safety also offers shuttle rides to get back to campus during the evening or to go anywhere in the general area of Emmanuel College.

Though many people feel the college has a homey and family-like atmosphere, you will often find yourself stuck in cliques. It has the nickname EC High for that reason. Keep your studies #1 and make smart decisions and you'll love it and the location.

Find people you click with to keep as close friends, but be friendly to everyone. Don't live up to the EC High tendencies and become embedded in a clique.

I have loved most of my professors and have never been stuck in a class without help I needed.

Living in a dorm is nasty and people can be gross, but everyone keeps to themselves for the most part.

THE CAF IS AMAZING

The teachers are wonderful. They want to help you and don't mind staying after class or making appointments. They love when students go to their office hours.

The campus and city are incredible. The campus is beautiful and very well kept. It doesn't matter what you are interested in, because there is most likely a club for in. If there isn't one, it's easy to make one.

College is expensive, but they try to help you out.

VISIT!!

anyone who wants a small school in a city.

Emmanuel is a great school, the professors are easy to relate to and know what they are talking about. I have a great time attending this school.

Get to know the your professors. Sign up for office hours and get involved with the ARC to take full advantage of your academic career at Emmanuel College.

Emmanuel is not a super easy school. It challenging, but thats a good thing! Many of the professors that teach at emmanuel also teach at schools like emerson and Harvard.

I have made lifelong friends at emmanuel college, the dorm life is wonderful here.

The food is Great! we have one of the best Dinning halls of the colleges of Fenway and their is always something good in the cafe.

Its Boston! their are so many things to do. Hang out with friends, catch a new release in the movie theatre right down the road, spend an afternoon in the museum of science or Museum of fine arts!

I really like emmanuel. I think that coming to this university was a good decision, the community is generally caring and people respect one another.

If your outgoing and love to have a good time come to emmanuel!

You can start your own club and there are hundreds to choose from.

The security guards are wonderful they make the campus very safe.

Emmanuel has a small classroom setting within the large Boston community. As a science major, the lab work we get to do it incredible for the size of our school compared to others. The professors will go above and beyond to make sure we are receiving the best education and knowledge in order to embark on our future endeavors whether it be graduate programs or a full-time job out of college.

Always do your assigned homework and show up to class. It is your responsibility to get your work done in order to receive an exceptional grade. Put in the time to study and prepare for class. Also, take advantage of the small classroom setting. Professors love when students come in for office hours, so don't hesitate with asking for help.

At least for myself as a Biology major, the classes and work load is tough, but rewarding. Since being at Emmanuel, my mental capacity for biology and chemistry has increased immensely.

Living in the dorms is a great experience, especially as a freshman. That's where you meet a lot of people in your first semester.

I personally, think that the food at Emmanuel is really good. Most people say it is the best cafeteria out of the six COF schools! Brunch is definitely my favorite meal. The staff are really nice too.

Being in Boston, the possibilities are endless. Since Emmanuel is in the Fenway area, going to Red Sox games or a show at the House of Blue is just a short walk away. Shopping on Newbury St or in Copley is always fun. Going to Fanueil Hall and the North End for dinner and desert is amazing. Also, taking the T is very easy!

Every fall we have Midnight Madness which is a spirit pep-rally kicking off the semester with performances from each of the sports teams. It's very funny and a lot of fun!!

Our campus safety is phenomenal. We are a gated community so campus safety is on duty 24/7. I always feel safe while on campus. We have a free campus shuttle that is available to escort you either to school or to another destination from school whenever you would like. The members of campus safety are always looking out for the students.

It has a great science program. The professors really do want to help you and see you do well. However, it's very small and it's almost like a high school. Also, not much ever happens on campus.

Give it time, a lot of people want to transfer their first semester here. Also just because you don't do so well in one class don't give up. If you really want it, keep trying.

They have so many ways to help you here. There is a lot of chances for extra credit. All the professors want to help you and have office hours. The ARC is always helpful, all the tutors are approachable and very helpful.

There is not a lot to do on campus. All the parties happen off campus. Most people seem to go home on weekends.

The stir fry is to die for.

You are in the middle of Boston. It is a very fun city.

You get a lot out of your education here at Emmanuel.

Who want a small school in the middle of the city.

There are a ton of clubs to join! You can create your own club if you want.

None here

They are amazing here. So safe.

Challenging but manageable work load.

All freshman dorm gives the class the chance to bond.

Dining hall food is really good. Stir fry station is awesome

The college is right in the city of Boston, where there is so much to do. Many shopping and dining options. Comedy clubs, plays, fenway park, concerts, and sports games at the TD GARDEN
