Enjoying an ideal location in Downtown Atlanta, the main campus of Georgia State University combines the best of a world-class academic institution with the endless resources of a major cultural and economic hub. The popular restaurants of Broad Street and Sweet Auburn Curb Market just a short walk from campus, and major city landmarks like Centennial Olympic Park and the Philips Arena are practically right next door. In addition to all the offerings of the city, the campus is full of free entertainment options, including the ever-popular Pantherpalooza spring concerts and free movies at Cinefest. Being in the heart of a large city, the housing options are virtually limitless—and while many of the apartments and condos closest to campus tend to be rather pricey, the public transportation options in Atlanta give you lots of flexibility in finding living arrangements that fit your needs and budget. MARTA service and the revived downtown streetcar system make it easy to get around the city if you don’t have a car.
