Why Atlanta?
Atlanta, the city of Georgia
Atlanta is one of the country’s great urban centers. In the southeastern US–where it’s located–this so-called City in a Forest serves as a regional hub for both culture, finance, and education. It is also strategically located Birmingham, the Alabamian state capital, lies approximately two hours away from Atlanta. Meanwhile, Nashville in neighboring Tennessee is due north–about a four-hour drive away. Another state capital, Columbia in South Carolina, is three hours east of the city.
People here enjoy the outdoors. Parks, like Piedmont Park in Midtown and Centennial Olympic Park downtown, are prevalent throughout Atlanta, and it's common to see people taking advantage of these urban oases with a game of ultimate Frisbee or a family picnic. The parks also provide the perfect locations for Atlanta's numerous festivals that bring people out in droves.
