Ok.
Atlanta has tons of restaurants for you to explore when you leave the Spelman Gates. There are multiple fast food chains on Lee Street alone. However, the MARTA only takes you so far in exploring other restaurants off-campus. When you get your own mode of transportation, however, then you can truly explore all the wonderful options Atlanta has to offer.

Parties Galore
Spelman has a great nightlife. There are parties every weekend. If clubs are more of your thing, Party Promoters hold at least 2 parties every weekend, providing transportation. House parties are also popular here at Spelman. If you are not a partier, then Atlanta has tons of fun things to do on a friday night, like movies, plays, hangouts and more!

Unpredictable
Atlanta Weather is VERY unpredictable! Some weeks, you will experience all four seasons. It tends to be very hot the first few weeks, but the best weather is after that period and early march when the weather heats up. I advise you pack all seasonal wear with you when you come.

Ick.
The cafeteria has a variety of food the majority of the time, however after a while, the food becomes monotnous and you start heading for the Jaguar Underground grill or off campus dining. Inconsistancy across the board.

Decent.
The facilities at Spelman are pretty decent. From the student center where many school functions take place, to the Spelman Suites, where its an environmentally-friendly dorm, to some of the older buildings where the tradition and age behind the building give it its true beauty. While they could be better, Spelman really tries to expand upon the buildings and facilites they have.

Strict Public Safety
Spelman College is a dry campus as well as a strict drug-free zone. Our policies are strictly enforced, however there is a huge population of students in the Atlanta University Center that do engage in smoking or drinking, off-campus of course.

Tradition, Tradition, Tradition
Spelman College is filled with rich history. What sets it apart from many different schools besides the strong sisterhood, is the traditions that take place from the moment you arrive at Spelman. It forms a sacred bond between the students and holds a special place in each Spelmanite's heart.
