Georgia Tech has the best of both worlds — a traditional and beautiful 400-acre campus located in a major city.
Within the thriving, creative metropolis of Atlanta, Georgia, Tech’s Midtown neighborhood is home to young professionals, families, students, and the city’s main central source of green space, Piedmont Park. Midtown was named by the American Planning Association as one of America's Great Neighborhoods and a “powerful innovation district,” thanks to anchor institutions like Georgia Tech and “a blend of commercial enterprise, arts and cultural attractions, higher education, residential living, and greenspace.” The neighborhood is burgeoning with new student residences, restaurants, museums, theaters, and retail stores.
