Rating 3.83 out of 5 1,595 reviews
I have the pleasure of attending Emory University in Atlanta, GA, and overall, my experience has been extremely positive. Emory is renowned for its commitment to academic excellence, and it certainly lives up to its reputation. The university boasts an impressive faculty, a plethora of academic programs, and a vibrant campus community.
However, I do believe there is room for Emory to improve in a couple of areas. The administrative processes, at times, can be a bit cumbersome and bureaucratic. Streamlining these processes would alleviate some frustrations for both students and faculty. Additionally, while Emory has a multitude of extracurricular activities, there is a need for more community engagement opportunities that connect students with the surrounding Atlanta area.

Being a student at Emory has taught me the importance of interdisciplinary education. As a Computer Science Major and German studies minor, I have learned to appreciate science and humanities. Analyzing works in a different language has helped me better understand research papers to improve designing experiments. Learning about the technical nuances of coding has brought insight into the importance of paying attention to grammar and spelling in a different language, rather than simply focusing on the big picture. Additionally, Emory's small student-to-faculty ratio has given me greater access to professors, who can better assess my work and provide critical feedback. Emory's driven student population has also partly inspired me to continue my education and become a first-gen PhD student. I am indebted to the institution for the intellectual curiosity I have gained during my time here, and I hope to encourage these values for the next generation of students one day as a professor.
Emory is a fantastic university! The campus is beautiful, the people are nice and there is a lot to do in the surrounding areas of Atlanta, Georgia. My favorite thing about Emory was of course the people. I made so many friends and I had the opportunity to meet so many people from all walks of life. I also enjoyed the Student Organizations that I was a part of. While Emory is a really great school I will admit there is a lack of school spirit, so I would definitely recommend joining a few clubs and staying engaged with student events, this is the best way to get the most out of the student experience.
Academically Emory is manageable. Most of the professors I had were pretty good. Like any school, there will always be classes/professors that you don't enjoy, but if you ask around and check reviews online you will get a pretty good idea of what to expect for each class.
Overall my time at Emory was great, and I will definitely miss it.
