<p>I'm a tennis player and I just got back from an official visit at Williams. I really loved the social life and the entry system, but the tennis situation isn't really what I'm looking for. I have a visit to Emory next weekend, but I feel like every time I read something about Emory, it's about the students not being happy, or being really competitive. Is this true? Do people actually love Emory for any reason? I hope so.<br>
I'm also trying to look at a couple of division I schools. Maybe Auburn or University of Colorado- Boulder. Do any of you have any opinions?
Thanks so much!</p>
<p>I guess you have to figure out how crucial the “tennis situation” is to you. If you have a chance of getting into the #1 liberal arts school in the country, it seems a shame to even consider U. Colorado. Re: Emory—I guess you should check out all the Emory vs. ___ threads for clues (even if it’s not vs. Williams). It’s a larger place and urban…I imagine more of a pre-professional feel.</p>
<p>Tennis is huge to me, but keep thinking the same thing about Williams. It’s a great opportunity. Wish I could trade aspects of the school for each other :)</p>
<p>Unless you expect to be a professional tennis player, I’d go to the best possible school. If your tennis helps you get into a school like Williams, I’d go for it.</p>
<p>Newsweek actually just ranked Emory as one of the top 10 happiest schools (I know this is really subjective and not completely accurate, but still I havent met one person on campus who is not happy they are at Emory). I am sure you will absolutely love your visit to campus. You might find the balance between tennis and academics at emory as well, considering Emory is ranked 20th in USNEWS and is also one of the top DIII tennis programs.</p>
<p>If you liked Williams, you might check out Amherst and Middlebury - they’re both top 5 in D-III tennis.</p>
