Pros: Quality faculty, plenty of opportunities and resources, over-all wonderful education experience, gorgeous campus
Cons: Price (same as every elite private college), lack of school spirit
Summary: I graduated from Emory in Dec. '03 (I graduated a semester early by overloading my schedule and having AP credit). I have to say, I was very happy with my college choice. Emory is rather small, liberal arts college with a strong science program. It ... read more

Pros: Great education, reputation of the school and faculty
Cons: Pretty much everything else
Summary: I have read or skimmed over the reviews written by the others here, and I honestly can't believe them. Understand that I'm not attacking anyone, but many wrote silly reasons to dislike the school, silly reasons to like the school, and...well, it's great ... read more

Pros: On Campus

Pros: Variety of opportunities
Cons: Debt
Summary: After recently graduating from Emory, I have many misgivings about the school. You can walk on campus on any given Friday afternoon and notice that there are hardly any people around. Why? Because everyone leaves campus. There is no school spirit. ... read more

Pros: Beautiful, 'coastable,' brilliant teachers, not super-southern
Cons: Those darned dorm rooms.
Summary: This is an awesome place, with brilliant yet generally relaxed teachers and challenging-but-not-orgo core courses. (Actually, the 'core' is really a distribution list: 1 of 5 science courses, 3 of 10 english, etc.) The school has tons of money, so you ... read more

Pros: the expansion of a friend's circle
Cons: the negative perceptions that outsider's ( people from other schools) have about sororities

Pros: Money, money everywhere for the academically successful student
Cons: None now, but will Coke funds last forever?
