Georgia Institute of Technology
- Local Atmosphere

Lots in Close Proximity

Atlanta is ab ig city, not a college town and thus, much of the nightlife is geared more towards young professionals than students, but there is still plenty to do. Phillips arena (a venue for music, hockey, etc.), the tabernacle (music), CNN center, Georgia Aquarium (largest aquarium in the world by tank size), and World of Coca-Cola are all within walking distance. Because it is a busy metropolitan area, there are also art museaums, history museaums, festivals, lots of shopping, and other attractions within driving distance.

Land of the Geeks

Being at Georgia Tech requires someone to have a very specific mentality towards life. Anyone who is adverse to hard word should avoid going to the school. The social life is very active for people who are willing to go out and search for it, but many students do stay in the library. Being right around the corner from the night life of Atlanta is an amazing perk that really allows for students to blow off the steam that accumulates at Tech. Campus is generally safe, and the people on campus are very helpful and protective.

TONS to Do

You're in downtown Atlanta! There is no shortage of things to do! Especially because we already have a rich college campus atmosphere. I definitely recommend Midtown (literally walking distance from campus) for eating/going out, as well as a few classic Atlanta activities, like Braves baseball games and the Coca Cola factory.
