<p>Hey</p>
<p>So I'm in Atlanta right now, and today I'm going to GaTech's collegetour. After the tour, though, I have the entire day off + tomorrow to browse through the city/college (if it matters at all, I'm planning on being a Bio/pre-dent).</p>
<p>Can any of you give me some recommendations on where to go/what to do here?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Check out the area near 16th st near IKEA. They completely built up the area and there is a lot to do there. Movies, shopping, & eating. I've never been but in passing it looks pretty fancy.</p>
<p>You could also go to the High Museum. It's off 16th St NE and Peachtree St (there are like 13 peachtree st though)</p>
<p>Could go downtown to the CNN center or Coke building</p>
<p>Could go to Underground Atlanta</p>
<p>Could go to Piedmont park if you don't mind seeing al ot of gay couples walking around. Nice open park.</p>
<p>Go out to Buckhead and maybe Phipps Plaza. Avoid Lenox mall which is practically across the street.</p>
<p>Also, NEVER venture West of the campus. Specifically West on North Ave. It gets ghetto over there. I'm talking government cheese ghetto.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice, I'll try to do as much as possible.
Yesterday I went to the CNN/Coke buildings, they were quite interesting.
and why avoid Lenox mall?</p>
<p>Lenox mall is nice. IDK why you would avoid it. A good 1.5 million square feet of shopping and retail, fairly upscale (not as much so as Phipps, though).</p>
<p>I avoid it because I don't like the crowds that hangout there.</p>
