Why Atlanta is the place for you!
Georgia Tech is located in midtown Atlanta, one of the city’smost energetic and vibrant neighborhoods for business, cul-ture, education, and entertainment.
You might be surprised to discover that within a few miles,you can find music venues, theaters, shops, art galleries, mu-seums, clubs, parks, and literally hundreds of restaurants. Plus,when you want a break from the city, you can find mountains,lakes, campsites, and hiking trails within an hour’s drive.
But Atlanta is not just a great city for fun; it’s also a great placeto launch a career. As a business hub, Atlanta is home to theheadquarters of 24 Fortune 1,000 and a dozen Fortune 500companies. Employers in the area are eager to hire Tech gradsbecause they know the value our students bring to the work-force. The Tech community is well recognized in the city forcultural contributions and civic engagement.
Atlanta’s strong business culture and Georgia Tech’s leader-ship in innovation make this an ideal environment for devel-oping creative business and technology initiatives.
