Let me start by saying the “Atlanta experience” can be different for everyone. I’m not exactly a social butterfly but I can be in certain situations. This place is booming with ample opportunities for growth , but also failure . It’s easy to spot those differences with a good head on your shoulders, but positively speaking, anything can be done. I believe it’s accommodate-able regardless of class or social status ; not the cheapest but booming with roommate opportunities. Many people working towards establishment find different ways to save towards their goal — which I personally find very appealing and make sure I always ask how . Atlanta offers many different options for socializing and the club/party scene has always been it’s main attraction! I say (For any current or future residents) definitely take advantage of all Atlanta has to offer . Explore , meet people , learn new things and make every situation work out to your benefit.

I have lived in Atlanta for my entire life. It's growing rapidly due to the film industry which means lots of new businesses and jobs are being created. There is always something new to do in the city. There are sports, shopping centers, movie theaters, amazing restaurant, historical sites, music, and gaming places for kids. Atlanta definitely has something for everyone to enjoy and is an amazing place to bring families and friends. Atlanta's public and private schools are all amazing and provide great nurturing environments for kids of all ages. Atlanta is the place to be!
Atlanta is a very urbanized area with a surplus of opportunities, whether it be commercial, education, or entertainment. However, a lack of proper public infrastructure planning, specifically targeting roads, and uneven economic development highlights the key issues of Atlanta. Near the center of Atlanta, traffic congestion is horrendous leaving people on the roads for an hour or more depending on the destination. In reference to uneven economic development, some neighborhoods suffer from a lack of governmental attention. The residences tend to lack proper appearance and are littered. In addition, attention from public services is lacking in the area. Overall, Atlanta is a wonderful city for people looking for an urban life, however some areas are too overwhelming or others are not properly taken care of.
