Office of Admission Home > About Emory >  Emory is unmatched in its ideal location. Many students choose to attend the University because of the balance of our beautiful residential campus with a large metropolitan area a few miles away. The Emory campus is large, more than 630 acres, but manageable. You can easily walk between classes and your residence hall. If you wish, you may also use our shuttle system to make your way around campus. Because more than 70 percent of our students live on campus, the campus is lively with lots of activities taking place. Emory is geographically well positioned in Atlanta. The campus is located in a historic residential neighborhood called Druid Hills. Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted of New York City’s Central Park fame, the neighborhood has tree-lined streets and stately homes. It was the setting for the film Driving Miss Daisy, Academy Award winner for best picture in 1989. If you’ve never seen the flick, it’s worth the rental. Druid Hills is a safe and beautiful place for Emory students to live. Beyond our neighborhood, students also enjoy the many resources available to them in metro-Atlanta. As the capital of Georgia and the capital of the New South, the bustling city of Atlanta offers an incredible array of activities and events to keep you busy. Because it is home to more than 700 of the Fortune 1000 companies and is a cultural, educational, health science, media, and political center, the city has what you need when you’re looking for an internship, a summer job, or employment following graduation. Students enjoy Atlanta’s city life. Our campus is within a few miles from the city’s most popular areas—Buckhead, Midtown, and Virginia Highlands—and only six miles from downtown. Higher Education
