Georgia Tech is located in midtown Atlanta, one of the city's most energetic and vibrant neighborhoods for business, culture, education, and entertainment. You might be surprised to discover that within just a couple of miles, you can find music venues, theaters, shops, art galleries, museums, clubs, parks, and literally hundreds of restaurants. Plus, when you want a break from the city, you can find mountains, lakes, campsites, and hiking trails within an hour's drive. But Atlanta is not just a great city for fun; it's also a great place to launch a career. As a business hub, Atlanta is home to the headquarters of 24 Fortune 1,000 and a dozen Fortune 500 companies. Employers in the area are eager to hire Tech grads because they know the value our students bring to the workforce. The Tech community is well recognized in the city for cultural contributions and civic engagement.
