Atlanta vs Baltimore

Atlanta is not preppy as a whole. Emory could be considered preppy, but I will leave that to others with more actual experience with that school. Atlanta is a hodge podge of cultures, and most everyone you meet is not an original Atlanta native. So we collect folks from all across the country (and internationally) and have mixed success with melting all those cultures together.

I would not pin your final college decision on which city you think is the best. Look at each campus, factor in the immediate surrounding area if you must, and be sure to visit the campus at different times as the vibe could change from season to season. I do know Emory is not the rah rah sports campus, but it doesn’t seem to curb the appeal of the school. And they have an incredible swim program, not sure of other sports there. But it is not the main focus of the school.

Good luck with your college search.
