The best way to experience Emory university. Get to know food friends on a small campus and then get a great job on the Atlanta campus.

Oxford was one of the best decisions I've ever made! I wouldn't trade the close-knit community and the friends that I've made for anything else. While the Atlanta campus has its charm and I've enjoyed my experiences there, I can confidently say Oxford is home. It made my college experience full of adventure you can't get from a bigger campus.

Oxford College of Emory University is not the same place that it used to be a decade ago. The campus is constantly being improved and it's noticeable that the whole community, teachers, students, and administration are looking to improve the Oxford community each and every day. I'm certain that the next decade of Oxford will be even better.

Unique college experience with a tight knit community and amazing professors!

Every university is what you make of it. I had an amazing time at Oxford. Yes, I had to go out of my way to commute to the ATL campus for some classes and social events, but Oxford has its opportunities, such as early leadership, research, and a lot of money/grants. Furthermore, as Oxford Alumni we have a stronger community. Live laugh love Oxford.

leadership opportunities passed along to certain people and most get continually rejected from these positions, health center is unhelpful and difficult to talk to

Didnt like Oxford but if you mention that you don't like parts of Oxford people will just say that it's your fault. Felt like my voice was never heard by my peers or admin even though I tried to get involved and lead diff clubs

This institution is truly a sorry excuse for a college. Although you will get an Emory degree that is highly respected, the 2years of misery one mustendure in order to reach Emory is not worth it. It's in the middle of nowhere. Food is worse than prison. I wish had more characters to articulate the downsides and my distastes for this putrid place.
Overall 1.7
Challenging academics but a really cliquey atmosphere
Overall 1.7
Food is crap. A lot of professors and staff don't care about you. Unnecessary construction all the time. Pointless requirements and competition for classes makes getting classes you want impossible. I came with 4 AP Credits and have 1 more semester and can't take classes for my major because of the completely pointless INQ requirement system.

Coming to Oxford was the biggest mistake of my life. All anyone ever does here is homework (yes even on the weekends). Its not worth the reputation of Emory. My advice, save your money and go to a state school.

Mantra is "You'll be at the Atlanta campus (Emory proper) soon." Not a good school to come to if you wish to explore academically, classes are difficult to get into. There are a fair number of rather-good to wonderful profs. Food and location are terrible. Campus is "dry" which means lots of students are stuck with drinking violations. Wifi's good.
