| What I liked LEAST (2006 grad)
I thought I'd address this in its own topic.
For me, it was Emory's lack of major sports, specifically football, and the relative lack of school spirit that goes along with that. I grew up watching college sports on TV, and figured I could do that no matter where I went to school. Also, my high school didn't field teams in the big-ticket sports (football, basketball or baseball) so I was completely unfamiliar with the firsthand experience of heated rivalries or "big games." I had no clue how big a force sports can be for uniting a campus, and for uniting alumni after graduation.
That said, I'm not sure I would change anything about the athletics program at Emory. There are groups dedicated to raising the level of school spirit, and that's getting better year by year. It was nice keeping my allegiance to my hometown teams guilt-free. It was nice that the student athletes didn't have much of a separate subculture because they really were students first (I remember a friend who was a baseball player telling me I could gush about the no-hitter he pitched the day before for five minutes, and then we really needed to focus on our p-chem homework). And of course, those "Emory Football: Still Undefeated" tshirts are pretty amusing.
The best part of my time at Emory? Everything else. :-D
And by the way, the other thread I started is open for questions about anything, not just pre-med. I'm sure there are some future art historians or sociologists reading this, too. |
