CNN Downtown Atlanta

Georgia State University is located in downtown Atlanta, Georgia; the city that hosted the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games, and which is rapidly becoming the cultural center of the South. For entertainment purposes, there is the High Museum of Art, the Memorial Arts Center, the

Fox Theater, the Atlanta Ballet and Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, as well as hundreds of unique restaurants in Atlanta. Atlanta's latest attraction, Underground Atlanta, is only two blocks from GSU.

Around the city and within an hour's driving distance are Stone Mountain and several large lakes for swimming and water-skiing. The climate in Atlanta is a mix of warm and cool temperatures, with a mean July temperature of 73.4oF (23oC) and a mean January temperature of 50oF (10oC).

The city is served by a rapid transit system, MARTA, that provides access to the far reaches of the metro area; including Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport and outlying residential areas. GSU now provides campus housing in the "olympic village"; which housed the olympic athletes during the recent olympic games. For information concerning this accommodation, and also additional apartments and houses in the Atlanta area, please contact the University housing office.
