Get the Vibe . . . Experience Atlanta The ATL, HOTlanta, Gateway to the South . . . whatever you call it, you know when you’re in it. Atlanta pulses. A little edgy – sometimes a little cocky – this young and dynamic city is serious about work and fun. With more than four million residents from many ethnic and racial backgrounds excited about everything from organic cooking to NASCAR, the nation’s third-largest city has a place for you that will feel just right.
Sure, Atlanta’s weather is to die for with super-long spring and fall seasons, easy-to-take winters and actually pretty reasonable summers (its elevation gives Atlanta a more temperate climate than areas farther south) but Atlanta is really about what you can do, see, hear, feel, watch and experience here. If a band you love is touring, you know they’ll come to Atlanta. If you’re into pro or college sports, art, dance, theater, museums, restaurants or shopping, it’s all here. Plus, lots of freebies like art festivals, concerts in Centennial Olympic Park, 5K runs, author book signings and special speakers. If you’re into nature, you’re also in luck. Atlanta has one of the largest park systems in the country and offers 60 miles of greenway winding through the city and its neighborhoods for bikers and joggers. Or, you might want to row the Chatahoochee, hike Stone Mountain, hit one of the many public golf courses or connect with the largest recreational tennis league in the country.
At Life University, you’ll be immersed in a near all-encompassing experience on campus, and a lot will be demanded of you in the classroom. And Atlanta can even support you in those efforts. Opportunities abound in this lively city to connect with professional mentors, land internships, network with students and access Atlanta’s libraries, science museums and historical attractions. In Atlanta and its bustling suburbs, you can also find part-time employment, a range of housing choices and, if you have a family, excellent career opportunities for your spouse. CNN, Coca Cola, Home Depot, Delta and Georgia-Pacific are among those with world headquarters in Atlanta, and four out of five of the nation’s largest companies have branches in the metropolitan region. The choices of public and private schools close to Life, right in Cobb County, are also superb. And then, when you do have a little free time and are ready to let loose—with your classmates or your family—the choices are endless. From one of the world’s largest aquariums to the newly expanded High Museum of Art, to singer-songwriters in local cafes and NASCAR races at the Atlanta Motor Speedway, you’ll click with what Atlanta has to offer.
Why study in a confining environment with little life outside campus? Surround yourself with learning opportunities and new experiences in one of the most captivating communities in the world. For the time you’re a student at Life, you’ll also get to be a student of life by digging your feet into one of the most invigorating cities on the planet. You’ll emerge different from when you got here. And – it’ll be fun! |
