Emerson College Top Questions

What is the stereotype of students at Emerson College?

Maria

artsy, dedicated to our craft, liberal

Blake

They are all the kids who were weird and didn't fit in in high school.

Connie

We're all a bunch of sissy indie rock listening hipster pothead alcoholics.

Abbie

They're artsy, rich, pretentious, smoke cigarettes, and know nothing about sports. They're all gay, dress strangely, and are going to be living in boxes when they graduate. Oh, and they all applied to NYU and came here when they didn't get it.

Kelly

Very artsy and into film, dramatic (small theater program that is very present, but most students are performers of some sort), loads of hipster trash, lots of cigarettes, lots of questioning sexuality(Gay, Lesbian, Bi, Whatever-goes)

Ben

The stereotype of Emerson Students is either that they are flamboyant gay guys, or moody scene kids. There is also the pretentious artist.

Brady

Emerson students are all gay, smokers, creative/artsy

Alex

We are stereotyped into being trust-fund baby hipsters. And film nerds. Very opinionated and shallow in terms of art, and never ironic enough in terms of fashion. Everyone has a major nicotine addiction, evidenced by the solid layer of cigarette butts outside the Little Building. The major one is all the men are gay, which is the only diversity in the school. The advertised racial diversity (though they do it without saying the word racial) is a facade, built to conceal the stereotype that we're all white. And we all smoke pot.

Alex

The most common stereotypes seems to either be that all Emerson students are hipsters, or all Emerson males are gay. Overall the school does have the general persona of being very artsy, hip, and liberal.

Michelle

The sterotype is that we are all homosexuals, smokers, hipsters, and pretentious artsy-type people.
