<p>I’m a current Emory student. Here is my take. Emory is not really a city school. It’s really in a suburb. It’s hard to get anywhere in Atlanta using public transportation. This gets better after freshman year if you have a car. The campus is really nice and getting better. The type of kids who like Emory are usually very happy-go-lucky-types who want a collaborative environment. Over achievers and competitive kids tend not to like Emory. The academics are pretty good. The job placement isn’t great. The administration is really awful in some respects (like getting on campus housing). The food is pretty bad. Another big problem is that even though it’s a top 20 school, most people have never heard of it.</p>
