<p>i guess i just have a preconceived notion of emory's student body because it's in the south, in georgia, but how diverse is emory really? what i dislike most is when a school is very diverse but segregated. do students of different ethnicities interact at emory? is emory just as diverse as other top unis? i'm looking at emory for a transfer choice and this aspect of a college's atmosphere is particularly important to me.</p>
<p>thanks.</p>
<p>When on a campus visit, I saw plenty of Asians, Indians, and Middle Easterners.</p>
<p>hows the Chinese polulation, specifically?</p>
<p>You should ask Vtoodler, a CC regular who's now an Emory freshman.</p>
<p>Will artsy liberal students fit in, or should we stay up North?</p>
<p>It's not like you see confederate flags hanging in front of frat houses. Emory is a liberal arts school near Atlanta- lots of liberals.</p>
<p>well, thats not necessarily a good thing either, being a conservative myself</p>

<p>emory is very diverse...or just as much as any other medium sized liberal arts school, and i would say people of different nationalities definitely intermingle. and while many say emory tends to be more liberal, i definitely also know a lot of conservative students..so both liberals and conservatives fit in</p>
<p>Emory is ethnically diverse in comparison to most colleges in the United States.</p>
<p>the Princeton Review for like 2003 (I know, it's outdated, but it's the only one our library had...) rated Emory as the (these aren't the exact words, and I feel like I may be stretching here a bit) most racist school of the 365 (or whatever odd number it was)...i just thought that sorta pertained to diversity, so i went ahead and posted it; anyway, i would really like if someone could confirm that the newer PR books don't have Emory in the top 10 list...</p>
<p>I have the 2005 edition of PR, and Emory is not listed on the "Little Class/Race Interaction" list. I also checked the current website (which I think is technically 2006 listings) and Emory is not on there either. So perhaps there's been a change since 2003.</p>
<p>Pink --- I'd say no question that Emory is diverse. The intermingling question is one I've noticed as a problem on campuses throughout the country. There is definitely a tendency toward self-segregation at most schools. I don't think this is necessarily because of dislike/hate issues, but often because people for whom English is a second language often enjoy hanging with those with whom they can comfortably converse in their primary language. However, a bigger concern would be animosity, and I haven't heard of that being an issue at Emory.</p>

<p>I agree with soddy.</p>
<p>I went to Emory and found it to be fairly diverse in all senses of the word. There are large Asian and African American populations, as well as a growing Latino/Latina community. </p>
<p>Politically it runs the table. There are conservatives, and there are liberals. Emory was one of the first Southern universities to offer equal protection and benefits to gays and lesbians, and it has a commitment to inclusivity. Bottom line, no you don't have to stay in the North to be at a place where there are other liberals. </p>
<p>On the other hand, Emory does have a distinctly Southern feel in some ways. It's going to be different from staying in the North. It's a good place to learn to live and work with all sorts of different people, though.</p>
<p>thats partially why i chose emory-- perfect mix -- awesome weather and friendly liberals :)</p>
<p>after going to school at emory and being integrated in the community, you'd never know you were in the south. people come from all over, and it is very, very diverse, politically as well as ethnically. however, it also tends to be very cliquey and people tend to group with people they have a lot in common with, which makes sense</p>
