Oh good point. I have never understood this. I think it's really pretty and the quintessential New England LAC.

And no I don't have a connection to it at all.

Emory attracts a lot of hate because it’s in a red state AND “niche”

There is a vocal anti SLAC contingent on this board and the schools become more and more “worthless” as you make your way down the us News rankings past the WASP schools. Special honors to Richmond, which seems very similar to lots of other schools that don’t catch as many strays, and Bucknell. Bucknell hate has got to be in part response to the “pipeline to the Street” poster, who I found amusing. Then it started being listed with other more “prestigious” undergrad business programs and the prestige police had to put them in their place.
Emory also catches lots of ire on this board. I think people hate it because it’s not Duke or Vandy?

Where’d your kid go? Just curious. Sure he’s happy. Nice attitude.
