Emory University Top Questions

I think Emory has been everything I dreamed of. The greek scene is awesome, I love the social life, the IM sports are awesome and I love the students. One thing of course I would change is the no football team.

the best thing about emory is its greek life. AEpi. Only thing i'd change is maybe make the school a little bit bigger as far as students. increase the undergraduate class to like 8 or 10 thousand. Many people do not know about Emory when i talk to them. It is not publicized enough as a prestigous, top tiere school. Only long island parents are impressed when they hear Emory, otherwise, some people just give blank stares who have never heard of it, and kind of nod their head, saying stuff like "Oh....how nice." One thing Emory does not accomodate is for Kosher students. There are an abundant number of Kosher students, yet there is barely any options for kosher students. The kosher meal plan is only twice a week, and is only dinner. Also, food in general isn't great as far as getability. Late at night there is nowhere to get food. The DUC closes very early, and cox hall is mostly closed off at night, and has very limited food. School pride isnt great because the school is not big enough to have any great teams in the major sports such as basketball and football. Great campus, great facilities, mostly great teachers.

Emory is a great school with a great campus. Make Emory a household name. Size is good maybe make it slightly larger. Half the people say where's Emory and the other half are very impressed and say you must be smart. My dorm or the gym. Not much of a college town but in a nice neighborhood and with a lot near by. Don't know much about the admins but I hear President Wagner is a great guy. Juicy Campus. Not much for sports but I feel ppl are proud to go here. Guys complain about the girls and the lack of D1 sports.

Best thing about emory is the academics and teachers. I havent taken one class I have not learned from or dislike. I would like to have a football team though. I'm a pledge for a frat, so that's fun yet time consuming.

perfect size. people seem either impressed or cangratulatory when i tell them where i go to school but some people have never heard of it. most of my time is spent either in my dorm. the college town has a few good restaurants that provide a good variety from the cafeteria. the administration seems to do a good job and the most recent big issue has been the APES organization. School pride is moderate mainly because of a lack of sports.

The best thing about Emory is the fact that it is social and also academically challenging with great rankings. I would change cafeteria food- it is pretty repetitive and boring. The size of the school is just right- you see people you know when you walk around. People are impressed when I say I go to Emory. I spend most of my time on campus between the dorm, the gym and fraternities. Emory's administration does a good job of presenting Emory in a positive way- I do not think they are always correct on their political stance. The biggest recent controversy on campus is the Apes fraternity getting in trouble / rushing. There is a decent amount of school pride- however the school could use some more school spirit at sports games. Emory is its own bubble in Atlanta where people from all different backgrounds learn and share experiences. One experience I will always remember is song-fest the inter Freshman dorm song competition. The most frequent student complaints are probably about the food at the DUC and that it is not very political or opinionated.

Emory is a very prestigous school. Academics are important to all students. The school is a perfect size. You don't know everyone when you walk around campus, but you definitily see familiar faces. Because there aren't big time sports teams, emory's school pride is not exactly as high as at some other schools. The school really takes care of its students.

Best thing about emory are the resources all around, the opportunities (ie research facilities such as winship and yerkes, hope lodge, ronald mcdonald house) the plentiful volunteer opportunities, the amount of people is just right, when I tell people I go to emory they don't have any idea where or what that is, I spend most of my time on campus at the research lab, volunteering, or doing work in the library, The counseling is pretty bad most of the time, there is close to no school pride. Bad food is the most frequent complaint.

Just the right size. People seem impressed when I tell them I go to Emory. Most people assume I spend most of my time at the library (which I do not). School pride exists but not as much as other schools. Probably because we don't have a football team. Most frequent complaints is that school is hard work. There exists lots of stress during exam times/paper dates.

The best thing about emory well theres a lot it hard to name one i love the people and the weather i guess are top 2 I would change the food! it stinks i'm on ameal plan and have to spend so much more money on food and were not near a super market!! Also i would change houseing its pitiful for such an expensive school to have such nasty housing options. I feel the size is just right. When i tell people i go to emory there impressed we have a very smart reputation and its well deserved. I spend most of my time on campus in my dorm its very social or the library. "what college town" you really need a car our town is just a very restoraunts its nice but not big enough! I don't really know the administration that well. recent controversy is the houseing especially next year being a sophmore the choices were very limiting and not very good. We kind of have no spirit One experiance i'll always remember is when i found out what soroity i was in.. it was amazing! frequent complaints is the food!!!
