<p>I know this is going to make me seem really stupid and stuff but I'm trying to research Emory but I just can't seem to find anything about Oxford. Can anyone help me and tell me what the difference is between the two colleges?</p>

<p>Short Background: Emory University was founded as Emory College in Oxford, GA. The University later moved to most of its operations to the Atlanta campus, hoping to keep undergraduate education at Oxford.</p>
<p>Admissions decisions to the College and to Oxford are made independently. As for the schools themselves, admission to the College of Arts and Sciences is a bit more selective, and merit aid is easier to obtain at Oxford. Oxford students automatically continue (not transfer) to the College after 2 years, continue to the nursing school (with appropriate prerequisite coursework), or compete for admission to the business school (just as the students starting at the College do).</p>
<p>Oxford, GA is in a rural setting and has 900 students total, all of whom are either freshmen or sophomores. Oxford is a liberal arts intensive environment, quite different than the research-intensive environment at the Atlanta campus. Graduate students don’t teach courses at Oxford, nor do they TA.</p>
<p>While Oxford and the College have similar average class sizes, Oxford has small intro classes, while the College has larger freshman/sophomore classes and small junior/senior classes–going to Oxford, you get the best of both worlds.</p>
<p>Let me know if you have any questions.</p>
