Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
Pathetic, I understand that Emerson is a trade school at heart, but the classes do not have to be quite so meaningless. They really took an already empty feeling semester and sucked the soul further from them |

A Look Back
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | -Consider if you're in fact ready to enter Los Angeles, if your portfolio is full enough, and if you are ready to make the change from a subway accessible city to a mostly drive cultured one. If not, you may not be as ready for this trip as you thought. |
