The quality of education at Emory is top-notch. The professors are extremely amicable and open-minded to the students' inputs. They encourage you to discuss your opinions and seem interested in what you have to say. The school's liberal arts background also instills a different approach to learning. For instance, in my history class, instead of just learning of the history of western civilization, we discussed the architecture and fine arts that defined certain time eras. Emory professors definitely add a unique twist to learning.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Currently, I am attending Oxford College. Albeit the small size, I actually find Oxford quite entertaining. It's extremely homely and you're able to quickly make friends. There are a myriad of clubs and many ways to get involved. Also, because it is a two year college (before you transfer to main campus), once you are a sophomore, you automatically become the seniors of the school. At first, Oxford may seem a bit boring, but don't be fooled by the peaceful campus; students find many ways to have fun...
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Emory is pricey, but definitely worth it. You get an amazing education, experience every bit of the college social scene, make great connections, and since Emory is a prestigious institution, you're bound to obtain a job right after college or enter graduate school
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I would make sure I visit both the Oxford and Emory campus before deciding which school. Don't quickly dismiss Oxford! Though it is rather small in size, you make close friendships with your classmates and professors. By going to Oxford, you can experience both a small and large campus because you will eventually go to the main campus anyways.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Oxford is a diverse school and the people who attend the school are all different. If you enjoy trying new things and experimenting with life, then Oxford is great for you. Students here are motivated to learn and do well in their studies, so the atmosphere is rather competitive, but after classes, they know how to have a good time. If you can balance school and fun, Emory in general is for you.
