Emory University

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.

emory university is one of the best university in the usa, so it is worth going there because it assures an interesting carrer

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.

try to get around as much as possible, try to find people who have similar interests, don't be afraid of making new friends, talk as much as possible - no one is perfect, you will improve your skills!

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.
