About Student Housing in Atlanta
Atlanta, Georgia is the sprawling capital of the South and one of the biggest student cities in the country, with Georgia State University downtown, Georgia Tech in Midtown, and Emory University on the northeast side all pulling students in at once. That spread means student life isn't tied to one campus, it runs across districts like Midtown, Downtown, Old Fourth Ward, Edgewood, Kirkwood, Decatur, and Virginia-Highland. You've got the BeltLine trail stitching neighborhoods together, green space at Piedmont Park, and pro sports from the Hawks to the Falcons to the Braves for game days. As a student renter here, you'll pick your district around your campus and the MARTA line, and the whole city opens up from there.
