<p>the korean stereotype is mostly true, and not as taboo as talking about the rich/spoiled stereotypes at emory. i think most emory students, rich or poor, are generally nice and helpful. you will see a lot of people wearing designer clothes and accessories, but by no means would they look down upon someone that does not have that.</p>
<p>"It's like a literary heaven, and as we all know literature serves as the very basis of human civilization."</p>
<p>lol! Um...culture is just a part of what makes up civilization, and literature is a small part of culture. It isn't the basis of human civilization. I'm sorry.</p>

<p>LOL! Well, you're right... my stream of thought went just a wee bit overboard, so how about if I suggest that literature serves as a metaphorical representative of the mores and traditions that civilization serves up? Thanks for taking notice! My point is that the 10th floor of the library is a wonderful resource.</p>
<p>japs everywhere, very different from every other school down south. there are still a few down to earth of kids though.</p>
<p>sure, a lot of people here at Emory are pre-something, but they're still here to get an amazingly eclectic, challenging, liberal arts education. Emory has a very intellectual student body... people want to learn, and they apply themselves to that extent. Every school has its stereotypes. Whether you defy or assume those stereotypes is up to you... most of us will keep defying ;) hmmm...I can't wait to go back!</p>
