Student Life
Campus life is about creating your own Emory & Henry experience and finding the right combination that works for you. It begins with student-run clubs and organizations, including celebrated musical groups, highly active media and deeply engaged service clubs. There's no disappearing on our campus. You'll be involved, front and center -- in your classes, in your activities, even in your residence hall. You will become very close to your peers, your professors and E&H staff members. You will find people who are highly concerned about you and your success. You'll have the opportunity to truly experience college.
Activities & Organizations
Currently, more than 70 student organizations are active on Emory & Henry's campus. On any given day, you're likely to find at least one club meeting or event taking place, if not more. Hikes on the Virginia Creeper Trail. A community service project in Emory or nearby Abingdon. A football game at the stadium (sure to draw big crowds). And if you can't find something you're looking for, you'll surely find other people who share your interests. Start a new tradition!
Housing & Dining
Emory & Henry offers comfortable, up-to-date on-campus housing options, including newly constructed or renovated residence halls.

The range of our meal plan options allows you to choose the dining program that best meets your needs.
