<p>Depends on what you mean by “negative” side. </p>
<p>It’s a very small campus, so there willl be a lot of gossiping. Students will talk about each other a lot. Some are bothered by this, others aren’t. </p>
<p>It’s also pretty competitive, so there’s a lot of “I want to beat you” mentality. But on the positive side, there are also a lot of students who are relatively collaborative, so you’ll find your group. </p>
<p>The campus is very isolated. There’s nowhere to go, really, outside of its immediate campus except the mall. Many students take the shuttle to Atlanta campus to party or do activities that isn’t allowed or offered at Oxford. If you don’t have a car, that would be an inconvenience. </p>
<p>Why doesn’t everyone apply to Oxford? Either because they don’t know about it or just don’t think it’s a good fit. Also because of the “too good to be true, there’s gotta be a catch” thing, but I don’t see what the catch is except that it’s another route into Emory. </p>
<p>Academically, it is not easy by any means, so be prepared to work hard if you go there.</p>
