If your son likes U Richmond better, he should go to Richmond. Emory’s b-school is fantastic, one of the best programs at an already good school, but it’s not like all UR grads fail to secure well paying jobs after college.

As far as school spirit goes, Emory students seem to have a pride in that they go to Emory, but don’t rally around any particular DI sports. I worked as Oxford’s mascot, the eagle, not Dooley, and was generally fairly apathetic about whether our basketball team won this game or that. If the mascot is apathetic about sports, I assure you the rest of the student body is as well. However, like many students both at Oxford and Emory I was proud of the fact that I attended Emory, that my school educated Tibetan monks, had Carter and Rushdie on staff, and a host of other excellent things. Besides, realistically there are only a few major home games in the entire year.

Also yes, Emory students have fun. Trust me, we don’t all sit in meditation on Fridays and Saturdays bemoaning our U Penn rejections
