Pretty Good

Campus police are usually pretty cool. You can talk to them and they'll be nice and explain things to you, tell you where things are, or just talk. They can be a little on edge after a rash of crimes have been committed around campus, but overall they're not too bad. They don't really nose around for drunk students, so just don't be stupid and wonder into traffic or something.

Expensive and Somewhat Useless

Campus is pretty compact, and most students live on campus from what I've seen. Parking is outrageously expensive and spaces are limited and traffic can severely hamper your ability to pull out of your spot on some days. Parking garages are nice, but the reality is that most of what you will need is on or near campus.

Nice Bubble, but Watch Out

Atlanta has many sights, but it's not the nicest community. There's this thing called the Clery Act which emails us students crimes committed near campus and some of the details are more than slightly disturbing. Just keep a few friends near you when you go out to explore and there'll be many things for you guys to do.
