The kind of person who should attend this school is is driven to learn more and interact with people of diverse backgrounds. Emory University is known to be academically challenging but rewarding in the knowledge you receive. One thing I love about this school is the ability to interact and make friends with fellow students from all over the country and world, which allows me a diverse worldview into different cultures, practices etc. On top of that, the campus promotes diversity through different religious and ethnic clubs as well as dixtinct performances showcasing many cultures that come together on campus.

Emory is an excellent setting for leaders. There are always leadership opportunities available on campus. If you don't consider yourself a leader but still aim to contribute to the community, there are several volunteer events available on campus and throughout the community. As for workload, you have to be ready to deliver on your part. Teachers have very high expectations here which students have an obligation to meet or even surpass.

Emory is a great school for dedicated, hard-working students.

There are two colleges at Emory University: Oxford College and Emory College. Students who are very community oriented, need small class sizes, or come from a smaller city/high school are very well suited for Oxford. Oxford has 900 undergrad students and allows students to take on community-changing leadership positions much earlier than Emory, making the student strongly connected to their college community from the start of their freshman year. Emory is equally wonderful, but is more suited for students who are used to the distractions of bigger cities and bigger class sizes. Emory is 6,000 undergrad.

Mary

A hard-working, goal-oriented, driven, self-starter. Emory will provide a top quality, highly rated education to all students who are willing to work for it. If you are seeking a top 20 private university who specializes in a liberal arts education, Emory is for you. It is located in the greater Atlanta area, but quaintly located in the Decatur neighborhood. The weather is great, professors are wonderful, but you have to do the work!

Bearing the title of an Emory student carries with it expectations of discipline, responsibility, and rigor. However, the characteristic that embodies the learners of Emory most profoundly is open-mindedness. Emory's gates are open to those who appreciate the vibrant cultures of different continental races here and the variety of thought they bring with it. The energy of our campus thrives from the students' passion to probe, question, and understand the vast range of diversity and knowledge surrounding them, no matter where their political or ideological loyalties lie. In essence, we welcome those willing to learn from each other.

Paige

I would recommend any hard working, organized student to attend this school which is well structured. Everything you need from academics to social activities and financial aid are available to assist you with getting the most of your college life. Initially I was of the view that my family's finances would not have afforded me the proviledge of attending this school but as it turned out so far, I was so wrong.
