Emory is such a diverse school and I believe that there really is something here for everyone. There are all types of people here, staff included! Yes, everyone is different, but everyone belongs.

The person that should attend this school is one that is driven to meet their goals. Emory University requires people to devote much of their time to the school and studies. If students are looking for the party scene, this is not the school that would fit them best. Many ethnic classes attend the college and Emory strives to keep the student body diverse.

I'm not sure really. There's a great deal of academic competition at Emory, but somehow slackers and partiers still seem to get by. There are strict rules and consequences for drunks and drug-users, though.

People who are very invovled in their communties and strive to do very well academically should attend Emory. The school is full of former high school sports captains, student body presidents, and people who were in leadership positions. Mostly everyone is very social, but as a whole people are very high strung. The majority of the population is not relaxed.

Emory is not the place for a closed-minded individual resistant to self-change and enlightenment.

A person who is deeply conservative or doesn't like the city.

I believe this school is open to anyone. More so open minded people than anything else, however closed minded people can benefit from this school to. It opens up the opportunity to get to know people from other cultures and practicies from cultures and religions different from your own. As long as you are open to leanring and trying new things, Emory University is the school for you.

I can't say that any certain kind of person shouldn't attend Emory. This school is very diverse and very accepting. I have met so many different people here at Emory and also in Atlanta. It's hard to say that a certain type of person shouldn't attend school here, but the competition is pretty tough so if you don't come into school with a focused mentality then you won't be attending the school for long.

So much of the social scene revolves around Greek life, that it makes it difficult for individuals to do much with others on campus unless they step into a frat house. Fortunately, the gym is often open late and you will always be able to find others to play basketball, volleyball, soccer, or badminton with. Also the school is in the suburbs of Atlanta, and downtown is 10 minutes away, so the city is accessible. Also, the school often wants to uphold its image of academic excellence, so do not expect to be able to not attend classes without penalty.

The kind of person that shouldn't attend this school is the type of person who isn't serious about there education or their future career.

If your not serious about your future or your career Emory isn't the place for you. Students that are looking for a 4-year party will find the weeks to be uneventful but the weekends to be just what they are looking for. It?s a work hard play hard environment and if you aren't prepared to balance the workload with the social scene then you?re out of luck.

Someone who is not looking for hard work, or a campus with lots of varsity sport events or school spirit
