I currently just gained admission to Emory University. From other people's experiences, I believe it's a good school and I will enjoy my time there.

Emory University is an exceptional university in the United States. It offers a variety of humanities programs but specializes in medical and business degrees. It is consistently ranked highly for academics, quality of life, and student culture. I think it has a good student community but low school spirit. However, overall I have really enjoyed my time here.
