Important Dates and Deadlines
Coming soon...
"Definitely!"
Lauren C Emerson College
"For me, it was definitely worthwhile because everything about it was ideal: elective class credit for Emerson, matched my academic interests exactly, and short enough but long enough to meet new people, travel and learn. I am so glad that I applied because I can use a lot of what I saw, learned and produced in the photography st..."
Meredith C Emerson College
"I had a difficult time living at the castle, but prior to the Kasteel Well program I had never been to Europe and now I've visited 12 major European cities. I didn't get much time in each and I hope to return, but having someplace to live on the continent allowed me to be able to travel so many different places without having to..."

kelly g Emerson College
"Yes. "
Alexander S Emerson College
"Yes it was definitely worthwhile, I gained a lot of knowledge I hadn't previously known about the Netherlands and the Dutch culture. The country is small which makes for great exploration. I feel like it has changed me for the better, I'm a more independent person and has sparked some creativity for me."
Erica K Emerson College
"The trip was worthwhile as I was able to be a part of a totally different culture and lifestyle for nearly three weeks. I learned that language barriers are not to be intimidated by because speaking is not the only way of communicating. That was a major lesson I learned. "
Keith M Emerson College
"Overall, I am definitely glad I did it. There were certain things that were disappointing, but also certain things that surpassed my expectations."

Ashley M Emerson College
"yes"
Ben G Emerson College

Katharine D Emerson College
"i gained a working knowledge of the entertainment industry in Los Angeles and developed connections that will help my future career."

Margaret S Emerson College
"It was definitely worthwhile. I'm remaining in LA to try to find a job and through the program, I am more comfortable doing so."
Arielle S Emerson College
"I was mixed about whether I should go to LA, but I could not be happier with my decision to participate in the program! Not many journalism students go, however even if you are not interested in entertainment news, journalism is everywhere and it is nice/important to experience different places. "
Courtney S Emerson College
"YES!"
A student Emerson College
"I was very grateful to be able to be in the middle of the film world and see it from the eyes of a student before being thrust into it. It made me feel more prepared."
Doug S Emerson College
"Yes - solidified that this is where I have to be for what I want to be doing and acclimated me to the city -- was a good transition step, since I knew I was going to move out here after graduation it was great to have experience in the city as a student when I still had the cushion of friends and Emerson programs."
