"I made valuable connections and got a jpb as a result. I would highly reccommend this program."
Jackson A Emerson College
"I am a changed person after living at Kasteel Well. Every minute I was learning something new- about the world and about myself. I came to appreciate and miss my own culture as a result of being away from it for so long, in a way I never have before. I made friends that I will never lose, and memories that I'll never forget."
Misty C Emerson College
"Yes the LA Program is great for film, tv, acting students and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested. The program was one of the reasons I applied to Emerson in my senior year of high school and it did not let me down."
Emerson 2 Emerson College
"yes, it taught me a lot and i met some great people. it provided me with an understanding of the entertainment business and LA. it laid the groundwork for my eventual move to the city."
Kaitlin H Emerson College
"See above."
Evan R Emerson College
"My experience was very positive within my internship and my living arrangements. I have moved here."
Imanah M Emerson College
"This program was fantastic, I gained amazing friends and travel experiences. It was literally the time of my life because I took advantage of what I could and focused on living to the fullest every day. I think the program is what you make it somewhat but it is truly amazing to have the opportunity to live in a castle and to hav..."
Hanna K Emerson College
"While cultural awareness seems to be the obvious answer, you would be surprised how much you learn about yourself when interacting others. "
Jennifer S Emerson College
"The experience was definitely worthwhile. Though my internship was a big disappointment, the overall experience was still really valuable because I was able to assess whether or not I would want to work and live in LA after graduating from Emerson."
William P Emerson College
"It was definitely worthwhile. I learned so much about different cultures and I feel like I understand people so much more. I am more open to new experiences and I'm more independent. I was truly changed by this program for the better, and have formed great relationships with people I may have never crossed paths with back in Bos..."
Roisin M Emerson College
"I think it was worthwhile because since the location was less than ideal, it forced me to visit many different cities that I might not have had the chance to see if I was studying in a bigger city."

Josh W Emerson College
"The experience was worthwhile because of all the traveling I was able to do on the weekends and because of the connection I ended up feeling to the people I traveled with and lived with. It is a completely unique program, unlike any other study abroad experience other schools offer. But it really is the traveling that makes th..."
Karen P Emerson College
"I consider my study abroad experience to truly be one of the greatest experiences in my life and I do not regret anything I did when I was there. Mistakes were made but I learned from my mistakes and became a stronger person because of it. I was forced to break out of my shell when placed in a city that spoke a foreign language ..."
Jenna F Emerson College
"This experience was so amazingly awesome I don't even have the words to describe it. I feel a lot more independent and just more grown up as a whole. I got to experience so many things that I wouldn't have otherwise. It was incredible."
Sara Z Emerson College
"Absolutely. I gained a new appreciation for the way that alien cultures interact with one another when placed in contact and for the different ways that people live. I felt much closer to the people of Europe than I ever had on previous visits and even having lived and studied there previously. Incidentally, I think that the fre..."
Tiernan C Emerson College
"I would do it again in a heart beat! One of the best experiences of my life. I learned that there is a huge world of places that I have yet to experience and I'm excited to go back and see them all one day. "
Rachel L Emerson College
"I learned how insignificant I am. There's a whole world out there waiting to be discovered and I want to see it all and I want to become more significant. It's allowed me to check off one of my ma life goals and has given me the drive to continue living in the moment and continue striving to become a better person. It's an in..."
