I wish I had known...
No, I was perfectly informed. But a few friends of mine had to find out the hard way, that the housing office at Emory sets a high value on a perfectly cleaned apartment at the end of the stay, by paying a quite high fine. So make sure your room is clean!

Final comments
I seriously had the time of my life: academic and social-wise. Emory is a great university with state-of-the-art facilities and wonderful teachers. I learned more in these four months than I did in the past 4 years. The campus is absolutely beautiful. Atlanta is maybe not the greatest city to be as a tourist, but for living it is a great place: good infrastructure, awesome nightlife, nice shopping malls, very friendly people. Travel tips in Georgia itself: Savannah; Other than that, if you have the possibility: Miami, New Orleans, Washington D.C., New York, New England region. Helpful advice: Don't be shy to ask people for help, the Georgians are every friendly people.

I wish I had known...
That Atlanta is actually in the middle of nowhere and that most clubs close at 3, the rest at 4 a.m.
After that, there is nothing much to do but go to bed.
And one more thing: You NEED a car to get around, otherwise you are lost!

Atlanta is not the greatest place, but the University is good and you will get to know a lot of amazing exchange students. I made friends for life!

Travel to Miami, it's the best! Hook up with other exchange students and buy a car together. Then travel around and sell it at the end... it is worth it!

Do travel elsewhere in the US in your free time! I spent quite a bit of time in California and also in NYC. Other international students also went to New Orleans, Florida, and even Mexico. It's very easy to go anywhere from Atlanta.

Look for travel deals on the internet, specially airtran.com or midwayair.com.
Try to get in touch with local people, they are the ones that can show you the place and the culture better.
