Emory University Top Questions

Any student that comes to Oxford College, an extension of Emory University, should be brillant in both intelligence and personality. Intelligence goes far in any instituion; however, without the pairing of intelligence with an outgoing person or one that does not know exactly what their major should be then there is no use in coming to Oxford College.

Highly motivated people considering professional schools such as medical school or law school would do well at Emory. The school also has a well-respected engineering dual degree program with Georgia Tech nearby. Class sizes are unusually small, allowing students to interact personally with Emory's competent and friendly faculty. Due to Emory's diverse ranges of activities and people, I think the school has something for everyone, but people who are not particularly concerned with academic pursuits may feel alienated by the competitive, career-driven student body and should definitely visit Emory before applying.

There are more women than men, and many students have a lot of money. The girls tend to be self-interested and the guys tend to drink. There are students that aren't like that, but the predominant stereotype is that of rich Long Island girls.

A person should attend this school if he/she is interested in learning and working hard but is not interested in the competitive environment of the Ivies.
