I am a big believer in small class size and that is what I got at Emory University.  Every class in my major was 10-15 people that you got know very well as well as the professor for the course.  There were a lot of gen ed classes that needed to be taken, but a variety to choose from so there was always something that peaked your interest. 

 The surroundings were beautiful.  You are in a small suburb of Atlanta with great parks, but close enough to take Marta anywhere.  The tulips in the spring time were my favorite.  There was alway something cultural to do.
