Emerson College occupies a considerable amount of real estate on Boylston Street, making this area ideal for students, faculty, and staff. Folks who like to go out on the town don’t have to travel far: the community is jam packed with restaurants, coffee shops, bars, night clubs, and performing arts venues, ensuring that there is truly something for every taste.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
