At the gateway of the university's Atlanta campus, the stunning Haygood-Hopkins gate welcomes visitors, opening students to 600 acres of expansive green space and Italian Renaissance–style structures. There are magnificent areas for study breaks, jogs, and even lawn sports all throughout campus, from the busy new Student Center and exquisite marbled buildings encircling the Quad to the wide green expanse of Lullwater Preserve. The nine academic divisions of Emory University include the College of Arts and Sciences, Goizueta Business School, Laney Graduate School, School of Law, Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing, Rollins School of Public Health, and Candler School of Theology.
