Some construction going on. Didn't feel quite campus-y enough to me, but didn't bother D.
Police force patrols campus...not typical college security. Close to pretty busy roads, again did not bother D.

CDC located on Emory's campus, hospital, many places to eat...

D loved Emory. Moved to one of her very top choices. Loved the dorms, research opps, fact they offer scuba diving as a PE option, strong academics...too many to list.

We stayed at a Country Inn & Suites on Lavista...do NOT recommend it.
