<p>Hi. I have been accepted and given scholarships to both Emory and Oxford.</p>
<p>I was wondering how Emory students feel about Oxford students and vice versa. I have heard rumors that Emory student look down on Oxford students and Oxford students think Emory students are snobs.</p>
<p>Also, I was wondering about the party life at Oxford. What is a typical Friday or Saturday night like?</p>
<p>In terms of Emory, how focused is the student body on appearance and looking good?</p>
<p>For both schools, how are the science departments (professors, classes, and preparation for the MCAT). How are the resources if someone is struggling in a science class (like are the classes weed out classes)?</p>
<p>I am interested in pre-med. Additionally, I do a lot of photography and volunteer work.</p>
<p>honestly, i see people asking about what the party’s like at X school way too much. if you want to party you can party anywhere. </p>
<p>here’s what it comes down to(and you should’ve picked this up on emory’s website):
emory college is bigger, more people.
oxford college is smaller, more professor-student interactions.</p>
<p>you will be successful wherever you go. there is no bad choice when it comes to this institution.</p>
<p>If you like not having anything to do and being stranded in the middle of nowhere, go to Oxford!
Emory is much more fun, more like an actual college. </p>
<p>Large stigma against Oxford students in general but not really that big of a deal in reality just hyped up. </p>
<p>i have a quick question. what types of academic support services are offered at emory. are they any good? (like tutoring, writing center, help for organic chem or other sciences)? thanks :)</p>

<li><p>Oxford has less students but Emory is still small compared to many other top schools. I have never had an issue meeting with a professor or securing extra resources. </p></li>
<li><p>Emory allows you to build a network of friends/peers/professors for four years, whereas Oxford will thrust you into a totally new, foreign environment after 2 years. This may not seem like a big deal now, but a large portion of professional opportunities emerge through networking. </p></li>
<li><p>I can’t give you statistics, but I know that a lot of incoming freshman who think they want pre-med quickly learn that they do not. In that sense you could consider the classes “weed-out.” But in my opinion, those who truly want pre-med find a way to make it work. Those who drop were most likely interested in the idea of being pre-med, not in actually doing it.</p></li>

<p>I am a current Oxford student and the social life is not that bad. If you are involved on campus than you always have something to do. Since the campus is small you get to know a lot of people. We have parties every month that the social clubs throw and they are pretty fun as long as you know how to have a good time. The academics here are really tough, a lot of people say that at Emory it is easier. I am pre-med also so I am taking a lot of math and science classes. The teachers here are really good and the professor-student interaction is also. We have a lot of services provided here. We have the math center, which is open everyday and professors are there to help as well as students. We have a writing center, which is extremely helpful. We also have tutoring services and SI (supplemental instruction) which are extremely beneficial to go to when you have a test. Oxford is not that bad to be honest with you, and it’s what you make of it. As long as you have a fun group of friends you will always have something to do.</p>
<p>However, you should visit both campuses and see which one fits you best.</p>
