Location As Georgia's technology university, it only makes sense that Southern Polytechnic should be at the heart of all that's happening in Atlanta. Our location in Marietta, Georgia, puts us in touch with all of the latest happenings -- and all of the comforts of life in the suburbs. So close to everything Southern Polytechnic is approximately a 15-minute drive from downtown Atlanta, where our students take in Braves baseball at Turner Field or a Hawks or Thrashers game at Philips Arena. The fine arts abound at local theaters and museums, in addition to well-known venues such as the Fox Theatre or the High Museum. And a string of parks such as Centennial Olympic Park and Stone Mountain provide avenues for picnicking and hiking. At night, there's all the excitement of the club scene in Buckhead, Virginia Highlands, and Midtown, and the weekend provides time for trolling the shops in Little Five Points or one of the many Metro Area malls. Of course, Atlanta holds a Mecca of professional opportunities for students. Our students intern and co-op at small firms and major corporations headquartered in Atlanta and the outlying suburbs. Many companies located in Atlanta recruit Southern Polytechnic students upon graduation. But not too close Being located in Marietta, the Southern Polytechnic community enjoys affordable housing, excellent school systems, and many family- and community-oriented amenities. The campus is located near downtown Marietta, an historic district with privately owned shops, restaurants, and businesses. Families enjoy spending summer evenings at concerts in the Marietta Square and attending local playhouses. |
