As a prospective student, I inquired thoroughly about Emory and Oxford College, and after my inquiry about both schools, I have became very enchanted by the qualities the schools have and the opportunities that the undergraduates have being students of their respective campus.
Emory University's combination of a liberal arts education and the resources of a major research university, its students are better trained to be part of our globally diverse and interconnected society. After Emory I plan on attending medical school, and with the high competition, a applicant must be unique. At Emory, I would be able to conduct research while having a broad educational background which would distinguish me from the rest. Furthermore, the diversity of the student body truly adds to the global perspective. This diversity would enable me to learn about different cultures and lifestyles by having direct contact. Also, the campus's attraction of many guest speakers like Salman Rushdie (one of my favorite authors), President Jimmy Carter, and the Dalai Lama would be a great experience for me to enjoy.
With only about a thousand students, Oxford College has a close-knit small community setting. This idea was really intriguing to me because it would enable me to be in a family like atmosphere where I could feel at home. Also, since Oxford college has no senior or junior class, the freshmen and sophomore are in charge. This unique feature of Oxford would give me leadership experience which I would then apply at the main campus in Atlanta. In addition, with a ratio of 10 to 1, my educational would be become very personalized with the attention I would be able to receive from my professors.
