Emory University occupies a 630-acre campus in the Druid Hills neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia, combining urban accessibility with a traditional collegiate setting characterized by marble buildings and tree-lined walkways. Founded in 1836 in Oxford, Georgia, and relocated to Atlanta in 1915, Emory has developed into a major research institution while maintaining its historic connection with the Methodist Church. The university consists of nine academic divisions, with particular strengths in public health, business, medicine, and the liberal arts, and houses the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on its campus. Emory maintains a selective undergraduate admission process and provides first-year students with guaranteed housing in its residential colleges. The university competes in NCAA Division III athletics as the Emory Eagles, with its swimming and diving teams having achieved particular recognition in collegiate competition.
