Coming from the South it was a real culture shock. The school is ok, but if you're smart, take your money somewhere else. The social life sucks. If you dont know anyone going to other schools in Boston you're screwed. Who would enjoy this school? People who are average students, who live close by, who dont party and dont mind the small amount of people who go here. Someone who is Catholic and doesn't mind overpaying for the school. Parties- Emmanuel parties suck and you can only have fun if you come to the parties plastered, with your own alcohol and money to pay at the door (even for girls) & money for a cab ride back (T closes at 12.50). Obviously all the parties are off campus so you have to truck a half hour away on the T to go to a party which will most likely suck. Being a girl from the South, the gentlemen suck. You have to pay to get in to the party, then pay to get a cup and then go to find out that the keg is tapped. From my own experience have a fake ID and being able to buy my own alcohol and drinking on the way to that 1 sucky party a weekend they have is the only way to get through. Yes, really one party a weekend! Residence Life- I was stuck in a forced triple on the ground floor of an all freshmen (basically all girls) dorm aka in a dirty basement in an overcrowded room. It worked out because i liked my hall mates & roommates. RAs- mine was never there but because of that we gotta way with a lot of shit when she was on duty. The other RAs were not a fan of my room. Part of Emmanuels school rules is no alcohol on campus & shot glasses aren't allowed as well. Everyone broke that rule but we got busted for it a coupe times. They're really strict on their quiet hours. When RAs make their rounds at night it wasn't uncommon for them to walk slowly or stop at our door, even sometimes trying to listen or look through he peep whole. Od,d but they did have the right to do that. Most of the time they knocked on the door for hearing us talking about alcohol related topics or for being loud. It sounds unfair and it was unfair for them to basically target us but they weren't breaking any rules. Being stuck at this jesus camp with their rules, they could basically do anything they wanted. Living on the ground floor is a disadvantage. You dont have as many luxuries as the other floors, which for me I would have wanted a discount for living in the basement of this hall Lastly- BE AWARE. most weekends people go home, long weekends are a ghost town. Such a ghost town that the caf isn't open every long weekend! ADVICE. Mission HIll is a great place to buy alcohol when you're underage. your welcome, the only way to survive EC Individual Value: A-, Social Life: D Have a Question?

Almost all of the students here are arrogant and don't care about anyone but themselves. The food was good, the campus is nice, and my classes were good, but if you're looking for a real college atmosphere with lots of opportunities for friendship and a place where everyone's door is always open- DON'T go here!! I had so many things broken, things stolen, and rules WAY disregarded- (someone drew a swastika on someone's dry erase board and called them a cu**!! This is definitely NOT an ideal campus community. and the price to go here compared to my experience? WAAAAYYYY not worth it. Education Quality: A, Social Life: F Have a Question?
