[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a mom of a hs senior, I am also probing this question and trying to sift through contradictory info. We see emory listed as a school ranked high on having happy kids, but when we ask people with kids there now, they say there's  a lot of high-pressure pre professional angst and that social life is dead and kids to go georgia tech for parties.  What is the truth??? [/quote]
Emory is Niche, like Rice Tufts etc. Emory is enjoyable because it's in a Top 5 city for young people. There's 5 other colleges 30 min from each other at most so about 70k other undergrad students to interact with. If your child is willing to venture off campus and explore the city they will enjoy themselves and find their people. [/quote]

+1 and Emory is also close enough to both UGA and GA Tech so if your kid want to enjoy a college football game…Emory is also very diverse, with many international students and students from all over the country. The main draw back I’ve seen is its reputation as an Ivy backup or 2nd choice, which isn’t always true. Not everyone at Emory was an Ivy/Duke/Vanderbilt/Ivy+ aspirant. However, that’s on the student to ignore that and appreciate and enjoy Emory for what it is. [/quote]
