Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The city of Atlanta can easily be described as one of the biggest
party cities in the United States. Atlanta has been fortunate to host some of the country’s most popular events, including the MEGA fest (an extremely popular spiritual retreat), Atlanta Film Festival, Atlanta Football Classic, and a variety of other major events that attract tourists as well as students. One of the social benefits of choosing a school in Atlanta is that there will always be several parties after the event that you have attended that are guaranteed to be crunk. Although Atlanta is not the traditional college town in which a lot of activities are conducted on the actual campus itself, no one can deny the fact that there is always something to do in this restless city. Morehouse, Spelman, Clark Atlanta, Morris Brown, and the ITC are all included in what is commonly referred to as the Atlanta University Center (or Consortium).

Clark Atlanta University holds the unofficial meeting place for all the students in the AUC called the Strip. Although often reduced to just being a trendy fashion runway, “The Strip” is where students can develop lifelong friendships with some of the most intellectual, ambitious, and in many cases, beautiful students this world has to offer. Other universities that are relatively close by include Georgia State University, Georgia Tech, Emory University, and University of Georgia (Athens).

Local Atmosphere

If you do not already know Clark Atlanta University neighboring schools are Spelman College, Morehouse College, and ITC. There is always different activities going on around campus there is never a boring day. Also the school is located two minutes away from downtown (by car) and there are a plethora of things to do downtown like art museums, Coca-Cola Factory, CNN, Little Five Points, Underground Atlanta, restaurants, etc. Safety is okay. We have 24hr cops (actual cops not fake security guards) on campus. If you want to go shopping go to Lenox Mall or Cumberland Mall and as for sports our school sports are not that big on campus, students do not support most games but they are still fun to go to.
