Los Angeles Program: Everything I expected and more Past Review
By Marissa G (Management/WLP, Emerson College) for
Emerson College: Los Angeles - Emerson College in Los Angeles
Honestly, the only bad thing I can say about my experience is that now I am really sad that it is over. It has helped solidify my interests in my major and now I have real life experience and contacts.

A Look Back
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | I went to Los Angeles not knowing if I would like it as much as everybody says that they do. It turned out to be an unforgettable experience for me because I met great people and scored an incredible internship. I am even considering moving there in the future (something I thought I'd never do). And it is very true that it goes by in a flash. I found myself never wanting to leave. |
