DCUM is obsessed with a school they swear isnt prestigious or deserving of its ranking. For some reason they'll still have 35k+ applicants this year.

I honestly don't understand how some posters are so sure that Emory has no school spirit because they don't have a football team. Have you even been there? I can assure you that there are students at Emory that have fun, have school spirit and are not held back.
Much preferred than the campuses where the athletes ride on scooters in their practice sweats around campus and act like they own the place.
Emory students cheer on their top Div Iii swim, soccer and tennis teams.
See this is what I mean....why is school spirit only about sports?
I think people are referring to a mass experience, which is usually only available at sports events. But other events could qualify, like Penn State’s fundraising “Thon.”

If you don’t innately get why kids want a school spirit type of school, just move along. Have fun at UChicago.
Terrible advice. I’m the one who doesn’t really understand school spirit (though some comments here have been helpful), but it’s my kid who’s going to college.
Imagine being there as a student for a game line this one!
War Eagle!!
