Quick Stats

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

In short, the school is strict when they catch people, but if you’re smart about when, where, and how you do things, it’s likely that you won’t ever be caught. The easiest ways to get in trouble are still drinking, smoking pot, fighting, or being some sort of public nuisance. The police are less of an investigatory team and more of a prodding response team and will sometimes patrol the campus looking to catch troublemakers.

Once caught for something, the school’s response can be varying. The strictness of your dorm directors can play a large role, with some students getting off with a warning and some students forced into community service or counseling. In extreme cases, students can be suspended. During freshman year, it is not uncommon to have a strict RA, which can be annoying and force you to be mischievous elsewhere, but lax RAs and SAs let students drink openly in their dorm rooms without fear of getting caught. Outside of the dorms is not as safe for troublemaking as it used to be, and would-be offenders are finding their lives a lot more hectic recently. In short, it’s best to play it safe. Emory can be strict with rule breaking, but at the same time, it’s very easy to get away with many things.

Socially Tolerant, Academically Strict

In terms of the social scene, Emory tends to be tolerant as long as no one is making a scene and no one is being harmed. Protests and demonstrations are allowed as long as one follows the guidelines previously set forth by the school. Academically, the school is very strict about integrity issues and will press honor council charges very readily on seemingly-undeserving students.

Easy to Get Away With Drinking/Drugs

I've rarely heard of students getting arrested for drinking/drug-use, and the school has medical amnesty.
