<p>To be honest I really hated Emory when I first got there, but now I really like the place. But Emory does have its faults, I’m just bringing them because I really disagree with a lot of things being said in this thread and I want to give perspective students my honest opinion.</p>
<p>I was rejected from my top school and Emory was pretty much at the bottom of my list, but it’s something I could care less about now. </p>
<p>In Emory’s defense, the schools has great academics. I was sort of blown away by all of my professors (excluding the personal health prof…but that’s because it’s personal health). Pretty much everyone there is very nice and easy to talk to, and from my experience Emory is really lax about partying/alcohol. You can definitely find your niche if you look hard enough (although another shortcoming to me is that the ‘groups’ form really quickly. Maybe that’s something that happens everywhere though). Atlanta is a nice playground if you’re willing to ride MARTA or once your get a car.</p>
<p>In general I’d describe the school as chill. No one is going to jump on your back about anything and everyone is open to a lot of things. There’s no rah-rah school spirit but at the same time I think a lot of people like it that way.</p>
