Bold, welcoming, dynamic, diverse, and thoroughly innovative. Atlanta is third in the nation for Fortune 500 headquarters (think Home Depot, UPS, Delta, Coca-Cola) and home to some of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. It’s also one of the country’s top tech hubs, a global FinTech capital, and has a thriving startup community. Goizueta is connected to it all – and you will be too. 

With a thriving music scene, an exponentially growing movie industry, world-renowned restaurants and breweries, beloved sports teams, artists both emerging and established, and an ever-growing diverse population, Atlanta isn’t just the cultural hub of the South, it’s becoming a major cultural hub in the U.S.

As a major U.S. city both in terms of population and business, there are sidewalks and buildings a-plenty, but Atlanta still manages to keep its canopy and green spaces thriving. Forests, national parks, rivers, mountains — Atlanta has it all. Its blend of city and serenity makes it the best of both worlds. And with average rent prices much lower than other cities, the best thing about living in Atlanta is that you’ll have the financial freedom to truly enjoy all it has to offer.
