What’s there to do walking distance from Emory? How’s the arts scene? I’ve read it’s hard to experience Atlanta without a car, is this true? Are there shuttles and marta?
Yes for Marta and shuttles…The arts scene is the best in midtown, but honestly Emory’s on campus art scene is pretty strong (especially theater and performing in general). However, often there are weekend shuttles that go to a) events/1 weekend things or b) A "poppin’ " part of town such as midtown, Buckhead, or the highlands. There are 2 museums (Fernbank natural history and the Fernbank science museum-both in Druid Hills so can be reached easily by foot) close by, but I suppose I would just learn to navigate the shuttles and MARTA.
