<p>Both schools are clearly liberal. However, at Emory, you will not find weekly protests or an ultra left wing student population (not to say that you will at Cal). Emory is a rather liberal school as is the city of Atlanta (don’t let the location in Georgia fool you). </p>
<p>Since you are interested in being on a pre-med track I don’t think you can go wrong with either school. There are many research opportunities at Emory because of the smaller student body. I began research my sophomore year and have received funding for last summer and this summer to continue research. My experience has been through the SIRE program ([Emory</a> College | Current Students | SIRE](<a href=“Error 404: Page Not Found”>Error 404: Page Not Found)) and I know of many others such as SURE ([Undergraduate:</a> The SURE Program](<a href=“http://www.cse.emory.edu/sciencenet/undergrad/SURE/SURE.html]Undergraduate:”>http://www.cse.emory.edu/sciencenet/undergrad/SURE/SURE.html)). I hope this helps.</p>
