I will echo the sentiment that you need to be sure which environment you prefer. Vassar is very liberal. Emory is not as liberal and SOME have said it has a Southern Elite feel. Also, Emory has 7500 undergrads and then another 6500 grad students whereas Vassar has about 2400 students (all undergrad). Both excellent schools, both elite colleges. Emory was on my daughter’s short list too, but for her, ultimately she liked the smaller campus at Vassar, the fact that there are no graduate students there, so no TAs teaching classes, and the fact that Vassar does not have a Greek system which lends itself to the students in the houses (dorms) making stronger connections than on many college campuses. But, that’s just her perspective. Lots to love about Emory for sure. Congrats on being accepted to both. You have a decision to make! You should also consider the weather. Some people hate cold and snow…obviously more of that at Vassar.
