what's unique about emory?

<p>What's unique about emory? and why would you choose this school over others? just curious if i should really apply...</p>

<p>the weather is great, housing is much cheaper than most others big cities</p>

<p>its close to the cdc</p>

<p>it depends on what you’re interested in.</p>

<p>well i’m interested to know if there are any classes in Emory that other colleges don’t. for example, i know cornell has a wine tasting class for the hotel kids and that seems to attract a lot of people… i’ve heard from CC that emory lets you choose youre own topics for english classes?</p>

<p>i’d like to know as well. besides the perks that come from its location, what sets emory apart from other top schools?</p>

<p>I really don’t have many ideas on this as I don’t know too much about the other schools (and perhaps not even enough about Emory yet, despite being a sophomore). This is tough to ask anyone going to a particular school. You’d get lucky if a transfer student replied. My roommate, for example, transferred from Northwestern.<br>
Overall, this may be moreso answered by intense personal research.</p>

<p>And yes, I said that about the Freshman English courses. There are various topics to choose from, especially if u choose comparative lit. I think the English program as a whole is pretty comprehensive too. However, this may not be very special. You’ll probably end up using AP credit anyway.</p>

<p>One thing, that may be common between all top schools that I observed was that there are some History/Political Science courses are taught in both English and another language. I thought that was kind of cool. I don’t know, search through the course atlases of depts. that interest you and see if you find anything intriguing. It’s what I do, and it is what determines what random humanity(ies) courses I plan to take per semester.</p>

<p>Here is some info: </p>

<p>Take your pick of a department and then browse their course atlas:

<p>So many languages to choose from!</p>

<p>Also as a new parent to Emory and an existing parent of a state school student - one thing really stands out - the personalized attention my student receives - All the advisors from Dept. chair to a student in each grade, tons of detailed information to parents and students. Very impressed so far!</p>
