Emory University Top Questions

Just come here. Emory is hands down an incredible school where you'll meet a diverse group of people from all backgrounds, socio-economic levels, religions, skin colors, sexual orientations, etc. It's truly an amazing place and I think no matter what type of person you are you will find kindred spirits here...just visit. And then come here :)

Emory strives to attain the best of both worlds. By being in Atlanta, GA, there is much diversity in the student and teacher population, and the learning teaching environment. There are only roughly 7000 undergraduates in the university, keeping classrooms very intimate. At Emory, I truly feel like a global citizen. I am an Indian Hindu who grew up in Ohio; my four best friends are a Pakistani Muslim who grew up in Thailand, a Taiwanese Atheist who grew up in Boston, a Chinese Buddhist who grew up in Hong Kong, and a Catholic Jew who grew up in Jersey.

It's hard to describe, but I believe Emory offers more opportunities to it's students. Opportunities to succeed, to achieve, to make friends different from people you've ever encountered in your life. They offer the chance to break out of what you're used to and explore something else. Although it may have it's faults, the positives of Emory University outweigh any of the negatives.

Emory is really a school where if you want to achieve it, you can. If you don't, you won't. If you want to have a good time (whatever that means to you), you can definitely do it. There's a lot of room for individuality and it's kind of a DIY environment. You can do as much or as little as you want, activity-wise, and in terms of academics, there are lots of resources available to help.

At Emory everything is accessible, from the technological email system called LearnLink to advisors I never feel in the dark, I can always find information about anything just through learnlink itself. I also think their are so many opportunities on campus to get involved with your field of study from psychological case studies you can view to interning with a research group , the sky is the limit.

funding, environment, atlanta

Well because it is Oxford College of Emory University it's a small school with a beautiful campus. The number of enrolled students is a little over 700 students. The classes are small and the professors are very available. You get the Emory education with the small college feel.

It's academic reputation

I like Emory because, unlike other schools, it has many opportunities to do research and to volunteer. There are also many people who will help if you want to start new research or clubs here. Furthermore, they have many professors who are both well-known in their fields and have a genuine desire to make sure that students understand and appreciate the material. Additionally, Emory is big enough that you can meet new people all the time yet still see your own friends frequently.

The diversity of the campus and everything that is stated in the survey does describe Emory. Emory allowed me to fit everything to how I wanted it; it felt custom made for me rather than most state schools
