I love emory, i think the social scene is mostly a frat and bar scene so an id is definitely necessary. The academics are challening, but in a good way, you see the frat boys at the frats on tuesday thursday and the weekends, but when exam time roles around you see them in the library.

I spend most of my time on campus on the lacrosse field and at fraternity houses. There is a severe lack of any college town.

Emory is unusual in that its southern setting is contrasted with a student body largely from the north. Mardi gras is an experience i will always remember.

Emory has everything to offer from amazing academics to facilities for everything. very environmentally conscious. we dont have too much school spirit though without any large D1 sports teams to support. the size of the student body would be just right so that you can always see new and familiar faces everywhere you go however perhaps if it was a bit larger there would be a few more good looking girls to choose from. Emory village is pretty lame so first semester freshman dont have many options other than the cafeteria, however with access to a car there are TONS of great places to go and eat and see within 2 to 10 minutes of campus. class selection process sucks for freshmen. almost impossible to get more than half the classes you are going for.

Great education and location. not so much school spirit

the best thing about emory is the student life I would change the attitude toward partying maybe the school is good size people are impressed that I go to Emory i spend most of my time in the library probably college town, suprisingly I don't know much about emory's administration, but I want to get to know them better. racial controversies are the largest controversies I think there is a lot of school pride something unusual about emory is the high ratio of minority students

Best thing is class sizes and faculty. I'd either move emory a little closer into atlanta, or let freshman have cars on campus. I think the size of the school is just right. I spend most of my time either in my room or the fraternity house. There is no school pride most likely because there is no football team.
