Its okay relative to some of the other schools that Emory is being compared with on this thread. |
| Best school in the world for nursing as well. It deserves more praise. If it was #1 for CS people would sing its praises loudly. But deep down you all are sexist. |
| I took an unofficial tour of the campus exactly a year ago and found it to be pleasant and in a nice part of town. There was a nice coffeeshop at an old railroad station right next to the campus that I recommend. |

Emory is great is some things. Public Health and Nursing are elite. Life Sciences and Pre Med are top tier.
Pre Business is reasonable for regional jobs. Elite employers from NY and banking and consulting will hire a few kids from Emory but it is a low target school at best. If your kid is interested in these fields, with these rankings, Emory is the place. If not, then not. USNWR isn’t by major. Wouldn’t put Harvard top tier for engineering. The National Rankings are silly. |
NP Seems like you are the sexist poster based on your assumption that all nurses are of one gender. |

But for families charged full freight at Emory - $85,000 includes everything - is it really that much better than a good, less expensive top public school if you want to study business or nursing?
Having said that the Pre-Med and Med programs are excellent, but so is Pitt and OOS Pitt is $35,000 less. If you get a nice financial package, it is a great school. We did not receive any aid from them and had to bypass. Sad. |
Not everyone lives in California, Virginia, or Michigan. Otherwise Emory is the better choice. |
| Be aware that your student will have some courses taught by TAs rather than profs for first and second years of undergrad. |
Nothing against Atlanta or Emory - both are great - but there's no way Atlanta beats Boston as a college town. |
Boston is expensive and boring. Atlanta is a more on trend city.Better clubs a lot of B and C list celebrities etc. |
Uh newsflash there genius. This is not true at Emory. TAs are not the prof. This their title. Duh |
| One thing my son likes about his experience at Emory is the smaller classes and he said it doesn’t feel stressful in any way. |
