Emory University Visit Report by Scarlett.B

Visit Activities:

Admissions Interview: No - <bold>This Was An Overnight Visit At Emory's Oxford Campus.</bold>

Information Session: Yes - Two Admissions Commitee Members Gave An In Depth Presentation On Oxford, It's History, What It Takes To Get In, And So On.

Campus Tour: Yes - There Was A Lot Of History Behind The Oxford Campus. We Visited The Library, A Dorm, The Student Center, And A Few Other Buildings.

Classroom Visit: Yes - A Didn't Sit Through An Entire Class (That's Torture!) But I Did Examine A Few Classes And They Were All Intimate And Small. The Professors Seemed Brilliant But...A Little Unapproachable.

---

Campus:

---

Most Of The Students Were Wonderful But They Tended To Stick Very Close To Their Friends After They Said Hello...Which Made It Very Awkward For A Visitor.

---

Except For A Miserable Cafeteria Attendant, The Staff WasVery Welcoming And Warm.

---

The Campus Is Really Green And Really Well-Kept. Lots Of Trees Amd Grass And Flowers And Birds. The Brochures Aren't Photoshopped, Honestly. The Campus Really Is Gorgeous.

---

The Buildings Are Mostly Modern But The Campus Also Has A Historical Feeling.

---

My Host Lived In One of The Two Newest Dorms. Everything Was Brand New, Free Laundry!, Clean Bathrooms, Awesome Rooms, And Great Common Facilities (Gym, Recreation etc.)

---

I Felt Extremely Safe Campus. The Rooms Require An Access Card And Campus Police Were Always At Hand.

---

The Atmosphere Was Wonderful, This Is Somewhere I Could See Myself Spending 4 Years Unfortunately Students Must Move Over To The Main Emory Campus After Two Years.

---

Off-Campus:

---

There Were A Few Venues Nearby The Campus. It's A Small Town Area So Nothing Major. I've Been Told That Students Shop In Nearby Cities.

---

Oxford Is 40 minutes From Atlanta. So There's That.

Campus Visit Notes for Emory University

Visit Description:

It Was My First Overnight Visit. It Was Weird Being Away From Home. My Host Was A Family Friend But I Didn't Know Her Well. She Made My Visit As Comfortable As She Could (I'm A Bit Spoiled So I Was A Real Pain In The Butt). I Love The Campus. It Has A Small Intimate Feel Since Only Freshman And Sophomore Students Are There. The Only Thing I Hate It That After Two Years Student Move On To The Extremely Large Emory Campus In Atlanta. I Don't Like Large Schools At All So I Probably Won't Like The Transition. That's The Only Reason I Might Not Apply/Attend.

Other Comments (Transportation, local attractions, parking, etc.):

Parking For Students Is $250 For A Year. Spots Are Fairly Easy To Find, Though They May Not Be Right Beside Your Room. The Students Here Have Really Nice Cars!
