Dive Brief:
- Emerson College in Boston has opened a striking 10-story, $110-million Hollywood residence and classroom building for students interested in the entertainment industry.
- The college was among the first out-of-state schools to establish a Southern California presence and is now the first to have a full-fledged satellite campus.
- Boston University, Syracuse University, and Temple University are among other schools with a Southern California presence, typically renting classrooms and housing students in apartments.
Dive Insight:
The campus would appear to be a hit. With a dramatic glass and metal structure and classrooms featuring views of the Hollywood sign, it's not hard to imagine why one student said: "It's amazing. It's like living in the Guggenheim."
