Emmanuel College is a four-year Catholic liberal arts college located on The Fenway in Boston, Massachusetts. It is a part of the Colleges of the Fenway consortium and is situated adjacent to the Longwood Medical District.
Founded in 1919 by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, Emmanuel was a women's college until 2001, at which point it became completely coeducational. Prior to that, men could only become students through the ECAP program , graduate and professional programs , or as adult learners.
In the 1990s, Emmanuel's incoming freshman class typically comprised about 100 students. Upon going coed, the incoming freshman class comprised about 300 students -- 100 of whom were male. Emmanuel had not had such comparatively high enrollment numbers since the 1970s. In 2006, the total undergraduate population was 1,600 students. To help accommodate them, the college bought back one of its old dormitories, Julie Hall, which it had sold to Beth Israel Hospital during a time of financial crisis. Other recent improvements include the renovation of Marion Hall into a new Student Center. The school's local pub, P.J. Kilroy's, closed in late 2006. It was a famous staple for the students at Emmanuel. http://emmanuel.edu/emmanuelnews/2002/may_commencement.asp], the Jean Yawkey Center.
Emmanuel offers programs in a variety of areas such as education, performing arts, and communication. It has a small student-to-teacher ratio and a committed faculty. Most students engage in an off-campus internship to gain professional experience in their field of choice.
A part of Emmanuel's Catholic-rooted mission is reaching out to students who may not have otherwise had the opportunity to attend college. As such, the student body is quite diverse.
Emmanuel also offers a number of scholarships. Students with a GPA and SAT scores of at least 1350 could apply for a full-tuition "Presidential Scholarship" . The admissions office date is March 1st; However, scholarship and financial aid deadlines are firm.

They're all good schools, but very different locations. I really like Emmanuel in boston. They are partnered with 5 other colleges in the Fenway Park area, and you can take courses at any of them. They are also less expensive than other colleges in Boston, about $33K. Definitely check them out.
A big part of the decision is what you want to study, what kind of location you want, and how much you can afford.
Good luck!
