<li>Emory is located about 10 min from downtown Atlanta. It's pretty nice because you don't feel like you're directly in the city and you actually get to have a campus.</li>
<li>The campus is fairly self-contained. The majority of social events will be held at a friend's room or or frat row which is on campus. Some events, like homecoming, are off-campus. This year it was at the Fox theater downtown.</li>
<li>You can find the GERs here <a href="http://www.college.emory.edu/current/courses/ger_fall2005.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.college.emory.edu/current/courses/ger_fall2005.html</a>
They are not extemely difficult to fulfill but some students would rather not have to take something like a math or a science if it is unrelated to their interest. The good thing though that allows people to take classes they are interested in is the amount of choices that can fulfill an area (chem - how things work for one of the sciences for example).</li>
<li>The typical class size really depends on the level and area. Here is a list of the sizes from my last semester as a freshman: 12, 13, 18, and ~50. The larger class was English 251 american lit. When there are large classes, there is almost always a smaller section that meets once a week (~15 people).</li>
<li>We register for classes through a bidding system. We get 36 points to put on classes. The more you want a class (along with the spaces available and how popular a class is) the more points you will put on it. It seems confusing but it has worked well for me for three semesters since I got into every class I wanted.</li>
