    Emory, UNC-Chapel Hill, and Vanderbilt are the South's three academic powerhouses. They all have solid grad programs as well as a legion of distinguished undergrads. In one way, however, Emory stands out from the others: it hasn't really focused on developing sports programs, which is a good thing. This freedom owes to the fact that the institution doesn't need the money -- they are massively funded by the Coca-Cola Corporation. (Is it any wonder you can't get a Pepsi on campus?) This has given them the wherewithal to become one of the country's leading institutions of higher learning.

    Love the school and the education my son is getting. Beautiful campus. He starts his junior years in a few days. It is expensive, but my son has scholarships. And No, it doesn't need "a football team."

    Emory is everything you could hope for in a university. Its solid balance of academia and opportunities to get involved is unmatched!

    Emory was only average until a man named Divine came along and changed everything.

    Great Undergrad programs and great social scene. Picked Emory over Duke, Columbia, and Penn and I know I made the right choice.

    I love this school. Like any school it has its weaknesses (school spirit). But the campus, faculty, and students make up for it. It's location is perfect being in Atlanta but far enough away from the bustling city if you need some peace. The buildings are gorgeous and there is a great social scene. There is something for everyone at this school. I never thought that I could find such a different group of people who get along so well together. I came in knowing no one and will leave with the greatest of friends.

    Awesome school, great city, beautiful campus, good academics, and sweet social life. What more could you ask for? The name recognition is not there yet, but the reputation is definitely going up!

    This letter is directed to a certain professor within the history deparment. This individual recently has written a novel entitled "Armed America". I would like to state that the facts in this novel are wrong. Many times the author contradicts himself. Most important, according to this "Professor" from Emory. After reading his book I realized something. We are going to have to rewrite all our history books...He has taken quotes from George Washingtom himself, and replaced them. I do not think this person should be allowed to teach...He was intentionally deceptive....And is a disgrace to our history and what we have fought for. Son Of Liberty

    Emory's energy, depth of resources, and diversity are nearly unparalleled in American academia. Who needs a football team when you have interesting classmates, a range of extracuricular opportunities, approachable faculty, and broadening experiences? Students at Emory are serious, ambitious, and personable -- but there's hardly a typical Emory student beyond these shared characteristics. For those who are eager to learn, contribute, and excel, look seriously at Emory; those who do not like diversity or competition, look elsewhere. And don't let the cost dissuade you: Emory's financial aid and scholarship programs make possible the Emory experience for deserving students.

    Even though the quality of this school is not properly reflected in the rankings, it is the best university in the South.

    Emory is a great social atmosphere with challenging academics. If you want a well-respected school and hate the cold - go here.

    Emory would be great (5) if we had more school unity and a football team like Duke

    It is usually going to be the case that people will say their college is the best.

    Harvard of the SE. Emory is a great scool with lots of smart kids. Lots of clubs to get involved in. great professors and small classes. Emory gives students a lot of internship opprtuinites so they can enter the real world successfully.

    I personally hope that many people put 5 by Emory because I go there and I want by $30,000 to buy a job when I leave.
