I'm thinking of moving to Atlanta.Can anyone give me advice about what to expect? |
Travel Info I've recently graduated from college with my B.A Degree.I am thinking of relocating to Atlanta and getting my Masters in Social Work from Clark Atlanta University.Can anyone tell me about what I can expect out of the Graduate Program.And what is the city like? Is it a suitable city for a single woman? Travel Tips traffic pollen smog traffic good people great weather no snow Others Not sure where you are coming from but you can expect: Traffic Heat Humidity More homework than you ever imagined possible. Biscuits & Gravy Sweet Tea BBQ Like any big city - Be smart and learn the area where you can travel alone and the ones you can't. Where are you moving from? I moved here from NY and I never seen so many car wrecks before. If your moving here for the men, honey pick another city. These men thinks all women are desperate for a man. They come to you half ***, and that you should be grateful with what have. There is alot to do (clubs, events,shopping) Good luck Moved to ATL a year ago, but a New Yorker forever. Well Atlanta is definatey is a great decision. It is one of the top cities in the country for young black (and minority) professionals male and female. So job searching and success are what you make of it. Coming from the north there were many cultural differrences for me. Accents, lots and lots of trees everywhere, and lots of dread locks. The city and the metro are really spread out, Which makes for longer commutes and horrible traffic. I suggest you find a place "Inside the Perimeter ( I-285)" closer to the city, to escape traffic fleeing to the suburbs after work ( more and more people are moving into the city, so naturally, prices on housing are on the rise) But, living closer to the city you will be closer to Downtown, Midtown, Buckhead, and Atlantic Station. These are areas where you find resturants, clubs, lounges and shopping- Oh yea gold teeth, flashy cars and sunglasses at night, and not to mention Dreadz. Keep in mind it a relatively big city with big city problems- Traffic, crime (southside, westend). But its a prgressive city rapidly getting better. Im proud to be apart of an advancing city. I'll see you around. Wherever you get a job or are attending school, look for a place to live nearby.... Traffic is horrific during rush hour. It gets hot here in the summer... and the pollen is horrible from the end of March til the beginning of May (it will affect you whether you have allergies or not). On the up side there is always plenty to do here in Atlanta. We have major sport teams, plenty of festivals, concerts, great restaurants, we have some great parks, museums, lots of bars, and the list could go on and on. I'm a single woman and I love Atlanta! It would help If I knew where you were moving from so I could tell you about the changes, and it wold also help If i knew if you were considering moving to the subburbs or the city, but i know it's suitable for a single woman if you move to the subburbs. I can't tell you about Clark atlanta University because that's not where I went to school. |
