Get the Atlas mug.A beautiful, underrated city that can compare to the likes of New York and Chicago.
People: Every race known to man lives in Atlanta, but it is unintentionally segregated, because everyone pretty much fits their stereotype: The whites are snooty rich or white trash, the blacks are ghetto, the Hispanics are illegal,the Indians own gas station mini marts, and the Asians are split up by nationality:
Korean-Dry Cleaners
Vietnamese-Nail Salon
Cambodian-Hair Salon
Chinese or Japanese-Corresponding Restaraunt
Not to mention the gays are numerous and VERY apparent.
Transportation: Atlanta Rush Hour lasts from 5:00 A.M. Monday 'til 11:00 P.M. Friday. The mass transit in the city is absolutely useless(MARTA actually stands for Moving Afros Rapidly Through Atlanta rather than Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority). 8 lanes of highway become engulfed with stopped vehicles. Every Atlantan gives directions in reference to the Big Chicken( A KFC in a 100ft chicken building with rotating eyes and moving beak) or referring to one of the 16 streets named Peachtree(Peachtree Street, Peachtree Road, Peachtree Industrial Boulevard, Peachtree Battle, etc.) They also have a road simply named Boulevard.
Food and Entertainment: The Varsity remains the staple food of Atlanta, along with a variety of fancy restaurants. You can either go to Six Flags( and get mugged), Whitewater (and get E.Coli), Stone Mountain( and die from heat stroke), or some random park on the side of the road. You can also see a play at the Fabulous Fox Theater( but no one does).
Climate: The weather changes in Atlanta faster and more drastically than a pregnant woman changes mood. It will be 75 degrees on Christmas than you will get stuck in the house in an Ice storm on the last week of March. The city will go through a drought one year than flood the next. Atlantans are smart because they stay inside in the Summer otherwise die from heat stroke hiking up Stone Mountain(did I mention that already?).

Get the Atlanta mug.The Peachtree City. The Athens of the South. Hotlanta. These are just a few of the nicknames for Atlanta, the largest city in Georgia with about 450,000 in the city limits and and additional 4 million or so in the metro area and growing almost exponentially. It is now among the fastest growing metro areas in the U.S. It is quickly emerging as a major international city and amajor media center thanks to CNN and Ted Turner being in the city. It hosted the Summer Olympic in 1996 and is becoming a major cultural center. It has the CNN Center, the Georgia Aquarium which is the largest in the U.S., the Coca Cola Museum, and a place called underground Atlanta.
The Atlanta area is nice to live BUT I wouldnt want to live in the city proper. It is among the most crime-ridden cities in the country. Alpharetta or Sandy Springs is more appealing to me.

Get the Atlanta mug.
A medium sized public university in south florida with tons of commuters. about 90% of faus students dont live on campus nor participate in any fau activtities clubs or events. Located in an Exclusive area with lots of old wealthy retired yankees. If you plan on going to a party school with tons of parties, beers, and wild college girls I would consider twice before entering the "mouth of the rat". The weekends are dead silent and everybody goes home to miami, tampa and orlando for more college "action". Must give the school credit in trying to gain popularity although its pretty inpossible in comparison it to other state universities such as FSU and UCF...Also the math department sucks and the classes are either hit or miss. Very beautiful campus though overall and a nice diverse group of students. Constantly trying to update everything.The weekends are dead silent and everybody goes home to miami, tampa and orlando for more college "action".
