COST OF ATTENDANCE 

Atlanta residents enjoy a lower cost of living than in many other cities. This factor in conjunction with the practical experience opportunities were reasons why Priyam Patel MSPH ‘20 chose to study biostatistics and bioinformatics at Rollins. “The cost of living in Atlanta is pretty much on par with what I expected coming in, but it’s more than worth it for the experience that I’ve gotten working with major public health organizations like the CDC, CSTE, and Georgia Department of Public Health.,” says Patel. “I’m pretty happy when I compare the costs and benefits of attending graduate school at Emory.”
