The 5 Best Educational sites in Atlanta, Georgia (GA)
Atlanta has been dubbed everything from the "capital of the new South" and "the next international city" to "the best place to do business." It's also a great place to visit. Fueled by the prosperity of local mega companies like Coca Cola and Holiday Inn, the prestige of hosting the 1996 Summer Olympic Games and the energy of young upwardly mobile types who have migrated to the city in droves - Atlanta is on fire. And this time it's a good thing. From world-class restaurants and a myriad of cultural attractions to a hip nightlife and sporting events galore, the city is cosmopolitan in every sense of the word. But Atlanta has also managed to maintain its historic character. Stop by the Atlanta History Center or visit the Martin Luther King Jr. Historical Site, a moving tribute to an American icon. Browse through the former home of famous author Margaret Mitchell or pop into the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum for details on the life and times of the former president and his family. Whether you choose modern urban endeavors or old southern pleasures, Atlanta will not disappoint.

This is my third visit to the Emory campus. I just love the scholarly atmosphere. It's nestled in rolling hills with lots of trees. Even though Emory is smack in the middle of Atlanta, it feels remote and clean. There are very few roads through the campus, so once you are parked and walking, it feels like a closed off campus. Druid Hills and Decatur are nice looking neighborhoods around the university. There is a very interesting aspect of Emory that I have not seen at other campuses around the country. There is limited bar and restaurant access nearby. Usually there is a concentrated area with tons of options that students can walk to. Emory has a few walkable places, but really you have to take a bus or car to get them. The shuttle system at Emory is fantastic. It's free and runs just about anywhere you want. If you are looking for off-campus housing, pay close attention to the shuttle routes. You can live off campus and not own a car because of the wonderful shuttle system. The campus itself is split into two mine campuses: Graduate and Undergraduate. The walking bridge over the railroad tracks marks the separation. My daughter is in the graduate program. Her friends, roommates, and peers rarely see undergrads unless they purposely walk over the bridge to the rest of the campus. Truly a beautiful campus. Being physically next to the CDC is a huge bonus. Many students work and intern at various places within or associated with the CDC.
