<p>No one really cares, and instructors welcome/accommodate them them. Also, of course you guys get the same opportunities. Do you know how big Emory is and how plentiful the opportunities are? Often transfers are more ambitious (I notice that they don’t take Emory for granted as much) than “originals” so tend to get access to these opps. anyway. I would imagine that transfers may be kind of screwed with housing, but if you do get on-campus housing, you can’t really go wrong. Dorms and various residences is pretty consistently good in comparison to most places. And for classes, the Emory system in most departments is so flexible. At many schools, especially large publics, you may have to fill out paperwork/apply to overload into a closed course whereas most departments at Emory function on an instructor discretion system. As in, you simply contact an instructor that may be full, tell them your interests (or in your case, situation if you transfer in), and they’ll probably overload you if the room assigned for the course allows it. Hope this helps some. Also, the quicker you get involved in on campus activities, the quicker you’ll be integrated/make friends and adjust. Emory, even for “originals” is very much about getting involved with various facets of campus/academic life (whether it be something like intramural sports, formal organizations, joining study groups). Emory has its cliques, but many/most of them are not impenetrable and most students are definitely down for meeting new people or showing them the ropes especially if the person is new.</p>
