Explore Atlanta

Candler at Emory University is part of the energetic Atlanta metropolitan area, which is home to more than five million people and a diversity of cultural, social, entertainment, shopping and recreational options.

We enjoy four distinct seasons with temperate weather most of the school year. Emory's one of the southernmost schools among the nation's top-ranked universities. Drive a couple of hours to the Smoky and Blue Ridge mountains, or take a half-day's road trip to Florida, Georgia and South Carolina beaches.

The Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport provides ready global access. Dozens of countries maintain consular, trade or chamber of commerce offices in Atlanta.

The university is an active citizen in the community, which naturally develops connections and opportunities for Emory students, faculty and staff to explore.
