What's the experience of studying at Emory University?

Emory University, founded in 1836, is a first-class private research university in the United States and is known as South Harvard. Located in the world famous city of Atlanta, the huge capital of the board of directors of Coca-Cola, an international business consortium, has laid a relatively strong academic strength for Emory University. So what's the experience of studying in such a great university?

Emory is very famous in the southern United States ~

Emory University has always been known as Harvard in the South. I may not believe it before I came, but I found out that emory really dominated the south after I came. When I went out for dinner, I was asked where I went to college and said it was Emory. Everyone will definitely say that it is a good university, saying that many people want to get into it, especially Emory still has a certain position in the south.

Two different universities

The school has two undergraduate colleges, namely Emory College and Oxford College. After studying in these two colleges for two years, students can apply for business schools, medical schools and law schools to continue their undergraduate studies for two years. Oxford students can directly transfer to Emory College to continue their studies after two years of undergraduate study, or they can apply to those three schools. I went to Oxford College, which was built in the old campus of Emory, in a distant village. Many people say that the admission standard of Oxford is lower than that of Emory College, because the average sat score of students admitted is lower, but it is not. It is understood that many freshmen, especially foreigners, chose Oxford when they were admitted to two universities at the same time.

Personally, the biggest difference between Oxford and Emory lies in academic, interpersonal and life convenience. Because there are only 900 freshmen and sophomores in Oxford, all classes are taught in small classes, with no more than 30 students in each class, while Emory teaches in large classes because of the large number of students. After talking with people at Emory College, I also found that professors are not as strict with their homework as Oxford, so the final result is that Oxford people have become so-called academic tyrants after two years of strict academic washing.

How about interpersonal communication?

In terms of interpersonal communication, because there are few people in Oxford, it seems that students and teachers who walk around every day are easy to get acquainted with everyone, so there is no gap between freshmen and sophomores, and it is normal to get to know each other (because there are really only a few people = =). Moreover, because there are fewer people and more activities, everyone can basically occupy a place in campus activities. Freshmen can apply for many leadership positions next semester without sitting on the bench.

But everything has advantages and disadvantages. Although the remote geographical location of Oxford enhances the interaction between students, it is really inconvenient to go to the city center, because it is really a country, and driving has become one of the important skills to survive in Oxford. Although there is a shuttle bus to the general school, it takes more than an hour, and unlike Emory, you can eat all kinds of delicious food as soon as you go out by taxi. There is not much food near Oxford Village, and even the nearest Wal-Mart takes 15 minutes by car. Therefore, you must be careful before choosing a university ~

Strong specialty

Undoubtedly, the strongest school must be medical college. To know that Emory Hospital has treated Ebola, it is difficult to apply for medical schools and nursing schools. According to this senior, there are only a handful of international students, especially those from China, and the difficulty is evident. But good is an indisputable fact, especially in recent years, health-related occupations have become more and more popular, so it is a good choice for students who want to come to our school to engage in this field.

Secondly, the business school should be the best one, because it is one of the few business schools offering undergraduate courses, and coupled with the close relationship with Coca-Cola Company, the undergraduate business school is really good. Although the application is slightly less difficult than medical school, it is still very difficult. (Only two or three people from China who applied for bus schools this year were admitted directly, while those from China on the waiting list all got a gpa of 3.9! ! But the business school is really good: it not only has detailed courses such as professional finance and management, but also projects tied to art, film and media, and environmental science, which can be said to combine business with other disciplines very well.

Generally speaking, the liberal arts in the school are better than the science, such as linguistics. All kinds of languages related to the country and religion that you can't think of are provided in our school, and the school is mandatory to learn a second language, which shows that the school has made great efforts in linguistics teaching. However, it is still very cautious for science and engineering men who want to come to Emory University. There is no engineering in the school, but there is a duel project in cooperation with GIT, which is to study at Emory University for three years and then go to GIT for two years. The project is very good, but the applicant's GPA is also very high.
