<p>ive heard a rumor that Emory has underground tunnels? is that true? random question, i know lol...</p>
<p>As far as I know...no.</p>
<p>I think Emory does. I had no idea they existed until my friend was talking about going in them the other day because she found the entrance. Not sure though.</p>
<p>Yes, Emory has many, many steam tunnels under the campus. As one with experience with urban exploration, (not listed on my common app, ha) I'd advise you to stay out. Post-9/11, most of those tunnel systems have cameras and motion sensors, and Emory will not hesitate anyone that enters, even students. Plus, these tunnels carry steam, and if you break a steam pipe (not hard to do, esp. because you'd be walking on them) you're dead.</p>
<p>There's a tunnel system under briarcliff campus that connects all the buildings and was used to move patients left over from when it was a mental health hospital. If you can get into any of the abandoned buildings, none of the stuff has been touched for decades. There are still old surgical gloves in trashcans and notes on the walls. Pretty cool, but the police patrol it regularly, so be careful.</p>
<p>Yes, there’s one under the library, but it’s pitch dark. Also, you need a dry suit since the tunnel carriers a rerouted stream.</p>
<p>This is really really interesting, ahah. I have a bit to add to it… Knowledge that comes from my father, who grew up in Druid Hills – in one of the creeks around Emory, there was a house that was buried underground, but you could still get in by crawling down a rather large sinkhole – and there was another hole in it too, which if you went out, you’d end up farther down the creek. Not sure this is still there, I just thought it’d be neat to report. If you want to do risky things that lack judgement, I’d suggest walking across the old railroad bridge while you’re at it. =P</p>
