Students Speak Out On Overall Experience

“My experience at Emory has been like being attacked by a grizzly bear. It starts off bad and only gets worse. The first year you make plans to transfer and the promise of attractive classes and easy girls give you enough strength to make it out of bed each morning. Sophomore year, reality begins to set in and you discover that you are stuck and you lose ten pounds in the process. By your junior year you could pass for legally insane and spend ten hours a day in the gym training for IM sports. Senior year the light at the end of the tunnel keeps you alive. That being said, for those insane people who actually plan college out—don't come to Emory. But if you're lazy and end up at Emory, make the best of it by becoming an alcoholic or a drug addict.”

“My only problem with Emory has been the lack of true diversity on campus. This school puts itself out there as a very diverse school, but the truth is the school is full of cliques. The population of Northeasterners is way too noisy and snobbish; there is a very high proportion of Jewish students, who primarily hang out only with other Jewish students; and any minority group only hangs out with themselves. The education is great, but the social scene is lacking.”
