<p>The comments are going against Emory......</p>
<p>Atlanta is typically thought a better college town than Nashville. In terms of college towns, Boston is #1 and then probably Atlanta. I have never thought of Vanderbilt as being a party school, but Emory's culture is that of the self-motivated student. Emory does have a large population from the Northeast and NYC. Another good distinction is the presense or lack of Greek and Division 1 sports on campus. (Emory has a t-shirt saying that their football team is undefeated since 1852. They don't have a football team.) However, intramurals are big and you don't have to worry about the gym being overrun by the athletes. Whenever I mention Emory to people who should know, they often make a comment about Emory being like a country club. The facilities are outstanding and the school has one of the biggest endowments of any school. Emory is known as giving very good finanicial aid.</p>
