You Know You Go To Emory When…

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Emory chapter.

There is about a 26% acceptance rate at Emory University. Admission officers read and re-read all of our applications to assure they get the best group of kids possible. There is something that they look for in each person, something that makes them an Emory Student.

So…you know you go to Emory when:

1.    You have never had Pepsi

2.    You spend your nights in a shopping center at the Neighborhood Bar and Grill

3.    You don’t know the rules of college football

4.    Cold weather is anything below 50 degrees

5.    9 out of 10 of your friends are either pre-business or pre-med

6.    You are friends with House (the library security guard)

7.    Your Saturday morning destination is Goldbergs

8.    Waiting 20 minutes for a Boars Head turkey sandwich is normal

9.    Your freshman dorm is nicer than your room at home

10.  You curse out OPUS twice a year 

11.  Its exciting to see a skeleton walking around campus

12.  Pasta John knows you by name

13.  Going off campus means going to the Village

14.  You still don’t know any Southerners

15.  Your Wednesdays are wonderful

Congrats, you are in fact an Emory kid!
