<p>I am reaaaaaaally concerned over choosing one from below.</p>
<p>I am admitted to
1) UIUC
2) Univ. Maryland - CP
3) IU-Bloomington
and
4) Oxford College of Emory</p>
<p>Well, I'm gonna major econ.
and I am thinking of going to law school after grad. (hopefully..)</p>
<p>First, I thought going to U-MD.
It is a good school (although some might disagree.. I think so).
I heard that there are lots of opportunities coming from DC etc.</p>
<p>Then, I thought about UIUC for some moment.
But, I wouldn't choose UIUC since I'm not engineering major.
(As far as I know UIUC is best at engineering programs)</p>
<p>AND, Oxford College.</p>
<p>I have heard lots of goods and craps about Oxford College.
(I haven't met someone who actually studies(studied) in the college)</p>
<p>I heard that Oxford College is :
<good>
1) liberal arts, small class(low student-prof. ratio) , intensive(?).
2) they somehow make you to be able to compete in Emory in junior&senior years.
3) junior&senior years in Emory, diploma from Emory.</good></p>
<p><bad>
1) back-door. "I went to Oxford" = "I was stupid to go to Emory, so I chose alternative"
2) fail. Oxford guys go to Emory in their junior&senior years, and they fail.
There can be exceptions, but most of Oxford guys become craps.</bad></p>
<p>I'm not sure which to choose among the four.</p>
<p>Oxford students actually, i heard, do better than Emory college students in their junior and senior year. apparently, oxford is intense and students develop a really good work ethic with minimal distractions (Emory is in Atlanta… way more distractions)… some say it is a backdoor but… I would tend to disagree… its all about fit… some people like the small atmosphere of Oxford. I honestly think Oxford college of Emory is an AMAZING opportunity for those who, in high school, did not do amazing… but in the first two years you are trained extremely well.</p>
<p>well…
i’m seriously confused.
some say it’s a crappy place, why would you go to a place where nobody takes seriously.
and others say, “it gives great opportunity”…</p>
<p>The only complaint that I’ve heard from students who went to Oxford is that it is small and that everybody knows everybody. But they say that the close, tight-knit community is both a good thing and a bad thing. I think that when it comes to Oxford, it’s all about fit. You have to be the right type of person to enjoy and take advantage of the Oxford atmosphere. Also, keep in mind that if you don’t end up liking Oxford, you can usually transfer to Emory early (I know someone who did that). I don’t think any Emory student considers Oxford the “back door.” That’s just not something people talk about or even think about. When Oxford students come to Emory, they are Emory students, period.</p>
<p>Beretta9mm, it’s actually simpler than that. If you’re not happy at Oxford, even if you don’t have enough credits, they will sometimes let you transfer to Emory a year early. This is at their discretion, but it has been done before.</p>
