<p>Hi, this is an odd question to put in this forum but one that might help future SCAD Atlanta students anyway.</p>
<p>My dd is going to the Atlanta Ballet summer program this summer and will be dorming in the SCAD dorms near the High Museum. I was wondering if any current SCAD Atlanta students would be willing to offer some advice and answer some questions.</p>
<p>How safe is the area? I have read mixed reviews. My DD spent last summer in NYC (mostly Upper West Side and the Village area). Would you say that generally Atlanta and the MARTA are comparable safety wise to NYC and the NYC Subway system? What areas should my DD (she will always be going out in a group) and friends stay away from even as a group that maybe would not be obvious?</p>
<p>Concerning the dorms, I have heard they are very nice. Are there any reasonable grocery stores within walking distance? I know there is a Starbucks nearby. What other eateries are there within walking distance that are cheap but good? Not sit down necessarily. Any tips on delivery places in the area? TIA</p>
