College Overview: Emory

Emory: Go to an Ivy Instead
If you can get into an Ivy League school, go there instead. It feels as though everyone is simply here because they were rejected from their first choice, which tends to be pretty obnoxious to listen to for weeks on end.

Emory: A Perfect School
I think that in one word Emory is PERFECT! It is not too big, but definitely not too small. You can walk around campus and see so many familiar faces, but still meet new people every day. It has a beautiful campus and at the same time minutes from downtown Atlanta. Emory has a great academic reputation and is challenging, but at the same time it is very easy to balance academics with a social life. Also, it is in the south, and you cannot beat the weather! It is amazing and people are gener...

Emory: It doesn't get any better than Emory
If I had to do it all again, I would definitely make the same choice. The biggest piece of advice I can give to a prospective student is: visit! Brochures, statistics, and guidebooks only give you half the story. Once I visited Emory, I knew I was going to enroll.

Emory: Skeleton on campus?
I was a little different coming from Idaho to a big city. But I really fit in, I enjoyed it. One thing I got involved in real quickly was all the different clubs. And that was a great way to meet people, get involved and have something to do in the evenings.

Emory: A Beautiful Campus
I was really, really taken aback by the campus itself in terms of the aesthetic values of the campus. Everyone seemed to be having a great time and it seemed like a very relaxed kind of nice college environment. It did seem a little- kind of manicured and pretty and perfect and that kind of scared me a little bit but I got used to it. The buildings, everything, it’s just like perfectly clean all the time it looks great.

Emory: I'm Not in California Anymore....
I wanted to come to Emory because it does have a diverse educational program and it was in a good city that I had never been to before and it was a whole different change. A lot of people say it’s in the South, if you’re from any place else than from the South, it’s scary, but it’s actually a really nice place and I love it a lot. My parents always ask me why I came here because they wanted me to stay in California, but like I do things here that I could never do anywhere else. I volunteered at...

Emory: North meets South
When I got here, it was just like a whole different experience like, pretty excited to be here and going out like going to parties and having fun and then by second semester after break things started to get a little more serious and started to mellow out.

Emory: Parties and Great Profs
I wanted to stay somewhere in the South and Emory was one of the best schools in the South East. And also, I wanted to go to a private school.
