Emory University Top Questions

not quite, except students are cliquey sometimes.

I do not feel that any of these stereotypes are accurate. I feel Emory students work hard and are involved in many different ways in the Emory and Atlanta communities. I am a graduate student, so my perspectives are not as informed sometime.

No, just people dont take the time to get to know us.

No, while some students are upper class and stuck up, there are many students that are not, adding diversity to the campus.

no

Yes.

to some extent. its not that theyre not true or accurate, but its not polite and its incredibly rude to put us all in the same category for having one characteristic in common with those girls.

Not entirely, stereotypes never encompass the entire truth

Not entirely, but these stereotypes do come from somewhere. There are a fair amount of girls and guys who are jappy and spoiled, but most of the student population is very rounded and genuinely nice. Also, many people who you look at and at first appear overly preppy, you eventually find out are smart, fun, and great people.

Emory is very jewish and had its fair share of long island jewish boys and girls with designer clothing.

Yes, these stereotypes are quite accurate.

I believe that each of these stereotypes could be viewed as accurated by a judgmental individual. I am from new york and am jewish yet to me it does not feel as though there is an overwhelming amount of jewish new yorkers on this campus. Although i feel this way, others who are not jewish and are not from new york may feel differently.

Emory is a great acamdemic school, ranks in the top 20 overall and 4th in undergrad business, etc. There is definitely a large jewish population. Many of the students at Emory are rich but a lot are also there on scholarships and merit-based student aid. There are students from all over the US and the world.

in some cases yes
