Emory University Top Questions

I think that emory is a very diverse learning environment. Socially and academically I think that emory accepts students of all racial, religious and socio-economic factions into its community. I do not think that students need to dress a certain way at emory. I do not feel judged by my peers based on what i am wearing. I think that there is a stereotype that most emory students are rich and i feel that this stereotype is extremely wrong. I believe that one cannot describe 4 tables of emory students in a dining hall because i think that emory is A LOT more diverse than just 4 "tables" (or kinds) of students. I would believe based on what i have heard and seen that most emory students are democrats.

Emory has a student body that includes races and cultures from all over the world. I am heavily involved with the Latino community, since i am a cuban. Latinos are quite a small percentage of the school's community, but we are changing that each year.

its a very divers campus with a ton of asians however you dont really see them that much. aren't so many blacks but they are around and usually hang out with themselves. there is the long island group of very clicky preppy kids who wont associat with anyone other than fellow long islanders but noone likes them so its fine. for the most part everyone is really friendly to everyone else and its very easy to meet new people and make great friends.

pretty segregated

I am in ICE and i like the experiences I have had. Students are not politically active to my knowledge and certainly most of them talk about money. Students wear normal clothes to school basically, not trying to impress anyone. The infamous table separation in Emory is still existing in my freshman year.

I have had encounters with all of groups on campus. I feel almost all students are very nice and accepting. I really cant imagine any student feeling completely out of place. Clothing ranges from sweat pants and a sweatshirt to brand name clothing. 4 tables would be 1) Asians 2) athletes 3) rich white girls 4) rich white boys. Students come from all over the country, primarily the east cost from Boston to Miami. Most students are well off. Some students are politically active not all though.

A student who hasn't had any experience with Jewish students and has been sheltered for most of their life might have some trouble. Afterall, it is very much a northeast campus in the South. The school likes to say that it is diversed, and that might be true...but there certainly isn't integration, and nothing is really done by many groups on campus or the administration itself to promote that integration. Southern kids hang out with other Southerners. Northeast kids hang out with other Northeasterners, Asians hang out with Asians, Indian kids with other Indians, and blacks hang out with other blacks. In an ideal world, that would change and everyone would have several GOOD friends from different ethnic backgrounds. Guys wear a lot of different things...there is the southern look, the guido look, the "i don't care how i look" look...definitely varies. Almost every girl wears those annoying skin-tight spandex pants during winter time...soooo annoying. Students seem to be politically aware and care about what's going on in the world, but the campus is far from being a hub for political discussion amongst the students.

most students are comfortable in class not dressed up and all students feel free to intercat with one another

I hang out with people similar to me, which I think everyone does. I think everyone fits in with their own group. Most students wear jeans/shirt to class. Different types interact. 4 Tables: Asians, blacks, whites, other. The Northeast or China. Upper middle class. Most are aware, left wing. Yes they talk about salaries.

no student should really feel out of place here. most students wear clothes to class. Sometimes they do, not always. the tables are full with people. Lot of emory students from northeast but still very diverse across country and world. many but not all students come from middle and upper class backgrounds. students are predominantly center polically. No, nobody i would ever talk to.
