Emory University Top Questions

emory's a small private school where professor and student ratio's relatively small. it's hard not to get to know professor unless students never show up to class. all my professors know my name and we randomly run into each other sometimes at starbucks or so. i am studying film so i really can't tell about other department but classes are fun. favorite class i've taken was 'history of film' taught by dr.mueller. he's funny, sarcastic but also smart. i've taken his class 4 times so far. honestly speaking film department at emory's not as strong as other film schools which i am quite upset about. they only offer few classes each semester and not many of production classes either. but professors are amazing and my advisor's also very funny but very helpful. i am so not sure about getting employed after college since who gives a damn about film at emory? i might end up minoring in english just for that.

At the School of Public Health, people know my name. We often operate on a first name basis. I love how accessible my professors and other faculty members are! I also think the academic program is rigorous, but you make it what you want our of it.

Some professors know my name. My least favorite class was microeconomics because my professor was boring and it was at 8:30 AM. My favorite classes are expository writing and the history of jazz because my teachers are both very good and the topics are extremely interesting. Yes there are intellectual conversations outside of class. Students are rarely competitive. The history of jazz. The business school seems to be amazing while the prerequisites are not that interesting thus far. I rarely spend time with professors outside of class. The academic requirements are fine. I'm not sure about the aim of education at Emory.

academics are good some students are ultra competitive

All my professors know my name. My favorite class is Business Law, my teacher talks at 100 miles per hour, makes jokes to help us relate to the subject matter and she keeps my interest all class. My least favorite class was an 8:30 AM Business Calculus class I took freshman year. I haven't taken a class that early since. Students are very studious and study everyday. Class participation is very common and a lot of the time is grades. Emory students have all types of conversation outside of class; yes, some is intellectual. Every once in a while I will meet with a professor to ask them for advice, they are very approachable. Emory's academic requirements are challenging but great. The education at Emory is geared towards both, learning and preparing you to get a job after college.

yes italian sucks they study very often yes class participation is common yes they are competitive i just declared myself a psychology major so i dont know much about the department yet

I know all of my professor's names and they all know mine. Emory has some very hard classes which can be kind of intimidating, but there are more easy going classes to balance that out. My favorite class is Art History where we sit in a lecture hall, turn the lights off, and look at pictures.

Yup Biomedical ethics- it was instant gratification. I learned so much, and Dr. Fotion is amazing. Least fav- intro bio or intro calc...I think it was the professors teaching a level I wasn't used to.. Depends from student to student Definitely, but it's usually the same students who participate. All the time. VERYYYYYYYYYYYY Biomedical ethics I was NBB, but after taking biomedical ethics, I decided to be a Phil major. I love it, and the professors. It's just so interesting and can be applied to everything everyday. Yes, as much as possible. Emory's academic requirements are good, but some professors are not that helpful to students who come from schools that do not prepare their students adequately. I think all the GERs are necessary. Getting a job--at least in the pre-med classes. The majority of them are grade based and are sometimes so challenging that learning the information does not seem to matter.

As a freshman classes are big. professors don't know who i am. most classes have a few kids who carry the conversations. people study too much.

I'm a business student at Emory, and the program is perfect for me. You aren't in the B-school until after your softmore year, so it gives you time to play around with General Education Requirments and take some classes just for fun (I took Poetry 101... Very Fun!) Then, once you have taken a few Business courses and found out that its what you want to do, you go to the business school (as long as you keep a decent GPA you can get in no problem) The B School itself is one of the top ranked in the country, doesn't have class on Fridays, and all the teachers are very very nice (from my limited experience, but I've heard good things) Couldn't ask for a better program
