Emory University Top Questions

There are a lot of stereotypes, mainly about snobby spoiled rich kids from NYC who come here, in addition to the Ivy League rejects. Yes, you can see a lot of people with Ivy League sweatshirts, but also Emory ones too. A lot of Emory kids end up going to Ivy League grad schools, which I personally find better anyway because college is supposed to be as much fun as possible and the Ivy League is stressful. Emory is a private school so obviously there are rich kids around, and so you bet you will encounter rich kids if you attend any private school. Emory is very diverse and there are a lot of Greeks, but mostly everyone is academically driven. People usually stick to their own, but everyone is generally very nice. There are a lot of Koreans from Korea and Jews from Long Island but they tend to stick to themselves. A LOT of Pre-Professional students (med, law, business, health). There are others too, and there are independents as well. There are a handful of preppy kids, but again, tend to stick to themselves. The best stereotype of Emory I would say would be the nerd who likes to party. Honestly, I don't even think this is bad at all! Everyone at Emory is pretty well rounded and likes to have fun both in and out of the classroom ! Geeks and Greeks!

Somewhat. The Northeast does make up a large amount of undergrads, especially from the Long Island area, but Georgia, California and Texas are all represented as well, and there are many students from all over the country. When a school is as expensive as Emory is, there are bound to be many people from upper-class families, but the university does a very good job with financial aid, so many kids are able to come from less affluent backgrounds. As far as the ivy league stereotype, most people I've met at Emory didn't apply to any of the ivies. The most commonly overlapping schools are WashU, Tulane, Vanderbilt, Northwestern and Duke - almost every single student I've met either applied to at least one of those five as well as Emory, or simply applied here Early Decision.

For some, perhaps, but the school is diverse in almost every respect, and most students, well-off or not, generally have a good sense of reality and a desire to better the world.

The stereotypes are false. As a liberal arts college of Emory University, Oxford College provides its students with a rich and rigorous curriculum. The classes are challenging and the atmosphere nurtures scholarship. Professors are accessible. Oxford College is an excellent place to spend the first two years of an undergraduate education.
