Uh newsflash there genius. This is not true at Emory. TAs are not the prof. This their title. Duh

I'm guessing by this response that you didn't go to Emory or a school of similar caliber. Undergrad courses at Emory may be taught by PhD candidates (aka TAs). I was one at Emory and thus speak from experience. I think this is a big weakness in Emory's undergrad experience. For $80K+/year, I believe students deserve full professors. I also know that this is not widely publicized up-front. Parents and students have a right to know prior to committing to the school. Definitely a personal call. End of story.

False. Typical LAC huckster misinformation.

Please name the course or courses at Emory which are taught by a TA.

TAs only taught introductory courses.

Emory's TATTO Program permits 3rd year PhD students to co-teach a course with a full professor.

Other than that, it’s pretty perfect.

+1 it deserves a rankings boost, at around 15.

Perfect if all your kid wants to do is study. Emory will never be a hot school because it lacks school spirit, sports, and well, fun. It is pretty though.

Atlanta is probably the best city for a college student.

Nothing against Atlanta or Emory - both are great - but there's no way Atlanta beats Boston as a college town.

No such thing as the club scene in Boston like it is in Atlanta.

Atlanta is definitely a party city, Boston not so much

Boston is definitely THE college city.
