| Don't
choose ELC if you need any hand holding or want
to go to college to figure out what you want
to be when you grow up. In my experience, it's
the perfect place for students who come to the school
hoping to gain knowledge, not good grades and a perfect
transcript for grad school applications. That's probably the most cliched
statement these online surveys offer for ELC—that it's a place
you go to grow, bla bla bla. But really, what
is fantastic about this school and what makes it such
a truly unique place is the opportunity and freedom students
have to pursue individual courses of study and engage in
rigorous, in-class debate. The faculty is, for the most part,
brilliant—I've never had a professor who didn't challenge me and
raise the bar for what I expect “school” to be
like. I am majoring in Writing, particularly Journalism, and the
well-connected people in career services have helped me land internships
at top notch publications. The kids in the writing dept
are smart and passionate—like anywhere else there are a few
duds, and the courtyard is ALWAYS filled with smoking hipsters—but
the writers are really good here. The social life is
a little tricky—if you live in the dorms your first
year you'll have an easier time making friends. It's not
so much that people are mean, it's just that in
NYC, when everyone's living such a busy life, it's often
hard to make those initial bonds that happen routinely at
big universities with campuses and greek life and what not.
