Emory University-Accepted but won't be able to visit

My kid has several acceptances at schools which we will not be able to visit. Naturally, that makes it difficult.
Couple of questions about Emory:

1. Undecided major: likely something along the lines of both STEM and humanities. Are there any considerations like difficulty getting into courses you want? Overcrowding, other? Any particular strengths ( kids interests are likely to be econ, physics, neuroscience, politics, public policy).

2. Area: Main campus. Anything you think a prospective student should know? We can look at Google maps and more but thinking more along the lines of where is the campus related to the city and is it self contained/or not.

3. Students: Are students intellectual and love learning? Pre-professional? Other? Someone mentioned on CC that many Emory students wanted to go elsewhere. Is that common?

4. Anything special that puts Emory as a #1 choice. This was honestly a last minute application so any special programs would be helpful.

5. Financial: Not a consideration.
Thanks so much for any insight.
