What's unique about your campus?

The best thing about Emory is how progressive the university is. Emory does not settle for mediocrity and that’s reflected in almost all aspects of the intuition. Emory wants its students to grow as scholars and as people. It’s willing to listen to student complaints and suggestions and actively changes things to make them better. From the Theater Program to the Chemistry Department, to the Dining Hall, Emory is very concerned with student happiness and making the institution the best it can be and is constantly striving to be a better more well-rounded campus.

There are many opportunities that can arise from attending Emory.

Emory is the perfect size and most professors are very engaging and well known in their field. Emory is just far enough away from a big city, and there are plenty of opportunities here. It is easy to feel involved. Emory has a great reputation and I will be proud to have graduated from Emory.

Jacqueline

It is really pretty and renovated

The best thing about Emory University are the diverse opportunites availiable to students that seek them. Emory University sits amidst Emory's hospital, medical school, public health school, business school, law school, and more.

As a transfer, it is sometimes hard to find your niche and get back into the pace of things, but at Emory my friends as well as myself have found the transition to be really smooth and great. Not only that, but you can find people from all different backgrounds and races associating with each other here at Emory. Community is very big here, and the fact that it is so culturally diverse as well also plays a huge role in creating a great, unique campus and college experience. I think the best thing about Emory is its emphasis on community and health, but incorporating and instilling appreciation and acceptance of all students regardless of race, gender, age, sexual orientation. Emory students are generally pretty friendly and considerate, and dedicated members of community service. You will learn so much from your peers, classmates, and friends here! Everyone seems to be open to meeting and making new friends, and if you are open to others, you will learn and gain so much more in college and in life.

The best attribute of Emory is the variety of activities available on campus. They offer students the ability to socialize with students who may have similar interests and also learn about new subject matter. They range from research with notable individuals, an almost overwhelming number of unique clubs to choose from and to the numerous opportunities to participate in community service projects. A strong advocate for the presence of community service initiatives, such as campus wide service programs, like Emory Cares Day, Emory has certainly proved to be a fulfilling option for me.

Ridwan

The best thing about our school is the diversity and the academic atmosphere on campus. Even before entering my freshman year in August, I have met numerous individuals from not just America, but international students from all over the world. Every individual I have met from Emory so far has a passion for what they are studying and the professors could easily be named the best in the country.

Zoe

I love the fact that students have a major say in how things are run here at Emory. Whether it's from deciding what type of couches should be in the library, to the types of food that are served in the cafeteria, students are always able to give their opinions and have their voices be heard.

The facilities

The best thing about Emory is the endless array of possibilities offered to anyone who walks onto the campus. There are so many elite programs, majors, minors, professional schools, and businesses located on campus, that it is impossible to not find your niche. We have everything from an intensive pre-medical program, to a well-renowned performing arts program. Every aspect of my school is designed to help develop success for people of all ages, races, and gender. The campus is diverse, expansive, and welcoming to anyone and everyone. At Emory, I feel as though I can achieve anything.

Jennifer

The best aspect of Emory is the ever-apparent thirst for knowledge that every student has. This curiosity and eagerness to learn fosters a positive perspective towards education that is utterly contagious, spreading across the entire student body. This openness to discover new things livens up the campus community by bringing everyone together for the common goal of achieving success.

Colin

If somebody is willing to motivate themself and wants to achieve, Emory University is able to make such ambitions into reality. The campus promotes success and individual excellence, while the teachers demand diligence and commitment.

Erica

Emory University places much emphasis on community involvement. Students here are always encouraged to escape the "Emory Bubble" and participate in all that the metropolitain area has to offer. Atlanta provides countless opportunities to serve the community, from reaching out to mentor the city's youth to planting trees in surrounding neighborhoods. There are even several "Emory Cares" days, in which the university students dedicate their whole day to a specific service project. Citizens of Atlanta know they can count on Emory students to bring enthusiasm and passion for helping others.

Hillary

Size and location: Not a huge school like UGA, so you're not just a number, but not a tiny school like KSU so you know EVERYONE. In Atlanta, but not right in the middle of the city like GA Tech; Emory is in Decatur, off to the side of the city, but still close to Atlanta and all that it offers.

Esther

Very liberal - gives students the freedom of expressing whatever they'd like.

Ross

The administration's desire to continue rennovating and improving student life, especially for freshmen, through the building of new environmentally-friendly dorms. Emory is constantly improving and expanding.

Kristin

Emory caters to people with a variety of interests, backgrounds, and needs. If you as an Emory student seek nearly any academic or extracurricular opportunity, you can find something on campus which supports that passion. The university also stresses conscientious practices such as environmental conservation and giving back, in what I percieve as a more forward-focused approach than a number of other institutions. Academically, I also value that students have the option to pursue whatever discipline they choose and leave Emory with a competitive knowledge in the field.
