Student Life
All students are required to live on campus in one of four dormitories: Haygood Hall, Branham & East, Jolly Residential Center, and the newest residence hall, East Village, which opened in 2008 with LEED Gold environmental certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. Oxford has a daytime and a night-time dining service. The Williams Gymnasium has an indoor hybrid basketball, volleyball, and badminton court, an indoor track, indoor pool, weight room, and aerobic studio. There are also ten tennis courts and a regulation soccer field on campus. The Fleming Woods and hiking trails owned by Newton County surround the campus.
Emory University's bus routes provide service between the Atlanta campus and the Oxford campus.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“Now that Stevenson is dead I can think of but one English- speaking author who is really keeping his self-respect and sticking for perfection. Of course I refer to that mighty master of language and keen student of human actions and motives, Henry James.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“I do believe that the outward and the inward life correspond; that if any should succeed to live a higher life, others would not know of it; that difference and distance are one. To set about living a true life is to go on a journey to a distant country, gradually to find ourselves surrounded by new scenes and men; and as long as the old are around me, I know that I am not in any true sense living a new or a better life.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
