Emory University Top Questions

Everyone is from everywhere, diversity rules at Emory.

Work hard and play hard

The most energetic, smart, and funny classmates I have ever had in my life.

The student body tends to be cliquey, breaking off into ethnic, racial and religious groups - the group of Jewish friends, the international students, the African-Americans, etc. However, this is not a result of biases, but simply the natural progression for most students, as they meet most of their friends through extra-curriculars such as Hillel or the Black Student Alliance. If you want a more diverse group of friends, simply talk to people - just because they keep to their own type doesn't mean they wouldn't mind meeting different people. The atmosphere at Emory is very laid back. People don't dress up every day, sticking instead to shorts and t-shirts or sweatshirts when it gets colder. As long as the weather is warm, most people stay outside, studying or reading on the quad, throwing around a frisbee or football, or just sitting around and chatting. Any type of person will be able to find a social group at Emory. There are the kids who party hard as well as those who'd prefer to stay in on a Friday night and watch a movie. most people will do both, depending on the day, and different personality types are still able to be friends and find things to do together. Most people are interested and active in politics, and the campus is largely liberal, although the College Republicans are a very vocal minority. Most people are simply able to enjoy themselves at college in the moment, finding things they enjoy to do and not focusing on the future. Overall, Emory is an enjoyable place to be, and most people benefit from that.

As an upper classman my classmates are determined, driven and inteligent. I am inspired by my classmates as we continue to learn from each other and keep each other current and on top of class work and current medical events that shapen our experiences and future.

They are all really smart and know how to manage time.

My classmates are unique men and women of numerous backgrounds that come from states and different countries who voice their opinions, yet respect eachothers' views, that love one another and endulge in eachothers' presence.

When I think of my peers a myriad of words come to mind; intelligent, dedicated, talented, diverse, disciplined and just overall awesome!

Some students at Oxford College ( an extention of Emory University) are extremely intelligent, determined, and friendly; others give off the appearance that they are lazy, rude, and ostentatious; one common goal of all students is the advancement of themselves and/or their education.

They can be competitive, but overall, there is a atmosphere of friendless with us working together.
