Emory Social Scene?

@Emory2022 : Emory has it, trust me. Do not drown yourself in the details of how it works. Some are simply upset because the scene does not look like a public school or some places like Vanderbilt and stuff. Is that really what you need? It isn’t that serious get here and make it work.

Furthermore, no one can estimate generally how much people party per week. It varies so much from person to person (how many individuals are there again, like 6k in ECAS alone, subtracting out GBS, nursing, and Oxford) and often depends on their academic load. Like freshman and sophomores (and even upper classmen) who will apply to the business school probably party more (the requirements to get into the business school typically only involve a couple of truly rigorous courses and once they are there, there are no Friday classes. If those kids want to party, that is what they will do). Those in higher grading subjects probably party more frequently. Those in medium grading and harsher grading tracks and majors are probably more conservative or restrict to weekends. This is not HS, the high achievers (basically everyone) do not essentially take the same classes, nor is there unison in their social choices. Just chill. I am going to with the middle. The party scene is what you make of it, as it basically should be at any school where students claim they have to work hard (anyone claiming it is dead really did not what to go to a place where many of the students, including themselves, had to work hard. They wanted an easy place where they and a huge chunk of the school partied all of the time. Their expectations were just idiotic). And keep an open mind about Greek life. It should not be the thing you pre-commit yourself to before even matriculating/stepping foot on campus. Explore other clubs and socialization methods. It is not a gold standard necessarily and each one has dramatically different reputations.

And pretty much screw what you hear. The people that tend to report on things like that tend to report at the extrema. And people who end up at the extreme usually had ridiculous expectations or caused it to themselves. Much like people who go to these elites and then get on here and post that they weren’t that academically challenged, chose that for themselves. If you go to a medium/bigger place like Emory, any experience, positive or negative, can be easily manufactured.
