Enjoying a reputation as one of the top overall universities in the United States, Emory has been a landmark of education and research in the South since its founding in 1836. The university serves an almost evenly-split student population of undergraduates and postgraduates, with its graduate programs in business, medicine, nursing, law, and public health among the best in the nation. A testament to the university’s prestige, Emory’s faculty has included such figures as Jimmy Carter and Bishop Desmond Tutu. Located in a fairly suburban section of eastern Atlanta, the Emory campus is only a few minutes away from many of the area’s most popular after-hours hotspots: from the hipster-chic East Atlanta Village to the bohemian Little Five Points to the more polished Downtown Decatur and Midtown Atlanta, some of the best dining, entertainment, and nightlife in the South is at your fingertips. Even closer to the main campus, Emory Village has emerged as a highly popular hangout for many students, faculty, and staff, featuring a collective of superb restaurants. Living close to campus can be rather pricey, but there is no shortage of great apartments, condos, and rental houses available within walking distance; Atlanta’s MARTA system makes it quite a bit easier to find more budget-friendly options farther away, even if you don’t plan on driving.
