[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Emory has a very international student body- tons of cultural events hosted by different student groups. [/quote]

That’s true, Emory has one of the highest percentages of international students of any top university.  That, in part, is also why it it’s perceived to be less fun, and not a college with a lot of school spirit.  I’m sure some kids see it as a positive as well.[/quote]

It was ranked best quality of life by Princeton review for what that's worth.

Honestly, I don't know of any D3 school that has much school spirit. That's a D1 thing and even then Power 4 D1.[/quote]
This! I truly don't get why Emory seems to get the brunt of the "no schools spirit" discourse. Yet other similar schools and LACs don't. [/quote]

Have you visited?  It just a very quiet place, given its student population.  And even most D3 schools have a sport like football, hockey or lacrosse that drives some spectator interest.[/quote]
Yes i have, it's a school full of type B personalities. They seem to like it that way. They have wonderful Wednesdays, and carnivals all the time. And again Atlanta is a club city with plenty of 18+ clubs. [/quote]

Wonderful Wednesday is what turned my kids off, it’s just a bunch of food trucks/farmers market.  At most other schools, that’s just Wednesday and not considered an “event”.   It’s definitely for kids who want a quieter type of “fun.”  [/quote]
