College Town Adventures Beyond Campus

Metro Atlanta is home to some of the nation’s most recognized colleges and universities, but the college experience doesn’t have to end at the edge of campus. From weekend adventures and local eats to arts, culture, outdoor escapes and entertainment, students have an entire destination waiting to be explored.

Across the metro area, students at Georgia Tech, Georgia State University, Spelman College, Morehouse College, Clark Atlanta University, Emory University, Agnes Scott College, Oglethorpe University and other area schools are surrounded by opportunities to experience Atlanta beyond the classroom.

And in DeKalb County, college-town adventures come with plenty of personality. Students attending Emory University, Agnes Scott College, Georgia State University’s Perimeter College, Oglethorpe University and DeKalb Technical College can turn an ordinary day off into an adventure—exploring downtown Decatur, hiking Arabia Mountain, discovering Buford Highway’s global flavors, visiting local museums, catching live entertainment or finding a new favorite coffee shop.

Whether you’re new to Metro Atlanta or counting down to graduation, consider this your invitation to get off campus and discover what’s around you.

Class may be on campus, but the adventure is all DeKalb.
