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!
In my opinion:
Most people loved it.

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.

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!
In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!

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.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
I lived on CLAIRMONT Campus (I therefore cannot comment on other campus dorms and/or facilities on Emory Campus), which was newly built two years ago and has a great state-of-the-art Activities and Academics Center with everything from an Olympic-size pool up to a fitness center

Where do I start!? ;-) In these regions of Atlanta are awesome places to go out: Midtown, Buckhead, Decatur, Virginia Highlands and Little Five Points. IN Midtown: Loca Luna, Eleven50, Vision, Twisted Taco, Leopard Lounge; IN Buckhead: Tounge n' Groove; OUTSIDE the usual regions: Compound. There is a big variation of Restaurants. My favorites: Silk (Midtown), Fountain's (Virginia Highland). Nice cafes can be found in Decatur and Virginia Highland. Sports: Don't miss an Atlanta Braves baseball and a Georgia Tech college football game! Shopping: Lenox Mall!
