| OP -- I assume that with full tuition you went to Emory Scholars weekend. If so, your impression of Emory as a party school full of frats and sororities couldn't be further removed from my D's experience at the Scholars weekend and her experience at Emory as a freshman this year. It is a diverse place with kids who party and, luckily for my D, many who don't; many students into the Greek scene and many who are not. As with most colleges, Emory will be what you make of it. It is an amazing place with a lot to offer, just as the other schools you are looking at are. We too would have paid for our D to go to Wash. U (one of her choices), UNC, Duke, UVA, etc -- she picked Emory and has been happy there. |
