Emory is extremely welcoming and especially in the first year has a lot of inclusive activities in which the majority of the student population participates in yo really make yourself feel at home in college. It’s extremely easy to make friends and find your own group because of how involved the residence halls are in different events.
As for academics, the science courses are extremely informative and help prepare for any post-college professional study and you have plenty of opportunities to join research labs as undergraduate students with professors who are quite talented.
A drawback to the thorough science courses is the difficulty level which is usually quite high no matter the subject and also frequently graded without any curves.
Apart from that, the experience overall at the college has been really enjoyable and inclusive.
