<p>I am a student at Emory ( I go to the Oxford campus but that does not mean that I am completely detached from the main/Atlanta campus). Students here work very hard, but the atmosphere is not cutthroat competitive. Students here might not have school spirit (with respect to athletics) but they are very involved in a lot of activities on campus: for example we just had Dooley’s Week at the Atlanta campus in celebration of our enigmatic mascot James Dooley in which we had musical artist like Kid Cudi and Girltalk come over and we had some games and other activities during the week that basically brought the student body together. Greek life is a huge part of the on campus party scene and we have parties almost every weekend. The school is very diverse: Emory is the most diverse out of the nation’s top 20 schools. There are a few instances of self-segregation but it is not as prominent as most people make it out to be ( Koreans and some African American students tend to stick with each other a lot): a lot of students interact or are close friends with people of other races and religions. There are a lot of wealthy students just as there are a lot of students who are middle class, however, those who excessively flaunt their wealth tend to be very few in number and also very unpopular. The professors care a lot about their students and will work with you on a personal level with things that you need help on and they are very willing to do so. Atlanta is a great city and personally I like it much more than Nashville ( Nashville is too southern for me compared to Atlanta and I had enough of that for the ten years that I have been living in south Georgia) and their is a lot to do their such as internships, and also a great clubs and bars if you are into that sort of thing ( I rarely go clubbing myself…VERY rarely). So I hope I gave you and others a little bit about Emory. Anyone feel free to correct or add on to what I just said:)</p>
