[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Atlanta is not a walking or public transportation city the way DC and Boston and Chicago are. It’s lack of a cohesive center or truly distinct neighborhoods is frustrating for a lot of people who’ve lived in other major cities.[/quote]

Yes, I hate it for that reason. You need a car and basically have to drive everywhere, often in terrible traffic.[/quote]

My DC is at Emory. I agree, I hate Atlanta traffic, but I hate DC traffic as well and haven't left here! My DC walks into Emory village daily. Has restaurants, liquor store, CVS, bank, dry cleaner, etc.  Everything a college student needs. My DC loves the neighborhood around school with parks and trails. My DC spends a lot of time in downtown Atlanta, Buckhead, Decatur. All are a 10-15 minute uber (fete?) ride.[/quote]

Agree. Emory is not a public transit city so not perfect but Emory Village is great. Virginia Highlands is very close and is a really cool area with great shops, restaurants, bars, etc. It is a very quick Uber ride from campus. Little Five Points is also fun, and some of the other in town neighborhoods are also quickly gentrifying. It is a fun area for a college student and an incredible place to live right after college - you get the benefits of a big city at a lower price point and more amenities than NYC, SF, etc.[/quote]
