I'm actually a student at Emory's sister school, Oxford College of Emory. The classes are difficult and require a lot of studying outside of the classroom. You will find that students at Oxford are not only learning, but also learning to apply their knowledge elsewhere.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I absolutely love living here. The campus is beautiful and the people are friendly. Because the campus is so small, I've found that your experience at Oxford will be much more enjoyable if you're an active member in clubs and organizations. It's a great way to keep yourself busy!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The classes here are challenging but the cost of tuition is incredibly high. While the academic standards do live up to the cost, it's important to know whether Oxford is in your budget. If not, make sure you're applying for several scholarships and speaking to the Office of Financial Aid on a regular basis. If you're willing to make the effort, Oxford is willing to help you in any way they can!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Start on your applications ahead of time. Focus on portraying your true self through your essays. Remember that the admissions counselors want to know more about your personality, not just your academic ability. Also, visit the campus before you make a decision. It's the only way to know whether a school is a good match for you.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Oxford is a wonderful place for students who are serious about their academics. If you are an efficient and hard-working student, you will have no trouble adjusting to the academic life here. There isn't much to do in the area around campus, but if you're willing to take shuttles to Emory you will find fun things to do on weekends. Overall, if you are concerned more about your academic life than your social life, Oxford is the perfect place for you.
