<p>yes i’m a sophomore from the northeast (not NY)</p>
<p>a few things:</p>
<p>Preppy is relative but at schools like wake forest, UVA, and Vanderbilt, you are somewhat out of place if you aren’t wearing khakis and shoes. In my opinion, Emory is nowhere near preppy compared to these places. </p>
<p>Party nights are tuesday and thurs-sat (wed for the really hardcore). I have been to big state schools for parties and Emory does not compare, but the social scene is good for the school’s rank and you can definitely have a good time.</p>
<p>The school spirit for sports is atrocious. I think there is more hype for big intramural games between frats than for varsity games.</p>
<p>international, indian, and black students tend to be the most cliqueish from what I have seen, but there are obviously exceptions. It is more self-segregation than exclusion</p>
