Oxford college of Emory

<p>There are no fast food options on campus, but a short drive away (5 min) there is Chick-fil-a, and some others. You can bring a car to Oxford. I think the parking was only $100 for the year. (much higher on main campus). </p>

<p>The grading system is the same as Emory. I think 90-92 is A- and 93 and up is an A. I don’t like the plus/minus system, but I guess they didn’t think to ask me. :slight_smile: It is certainly possible to get a 4.0 GPA at Oxford. (my d has one now). I will tell you that there are only 7 with a 4.0 graduating this year, and 4 from last year. The A- system hurts a little in that area, but there are many graduating with a 93 and up GPA. I have not heard of any limit as to how many A’s they allow, and I don’t think there is one. Curves are up to the discretion of the professor. There are about 700 students on campus, and I am not knowledgeable about the average GPA’s, but I can honestly tell you that the students I do know are comfortably in the 3.5 - 4.0 range. I’m sure there are lower GPAs, but I think if you remember to study and attend class, you will be able to reach your goal. At Emory graduation last year, someone told me there were only 4 who kept a 4.0 for all four years, so that might be a difficult thing to achieve. </p>

<p>The classes at Oxford are challenging. The only classes I have personally heard described as easy are the PE classes, but be warned that Badminton is harder than it sounds. (although my d and her friends had a great time with it). You know you have to take a swimming test, right?</p>
