I'm trying to plan my college visits and would like to visit both One College Circle and the Riverside Military Academy in Gainesville, Georgia. Could anyone tell me how far apart these two places are and what's the best way to travel between them?
Depending on the specific college at One College Circle you're planning to visit, the distance can vary a bit, but generally, Gainesville, GA, where Riverside Military Academy is located, is about 50 miles northeast of downtown Atlanta.
If by "One College Circle" you're referring to Emory University, the distance from Emory's main campus to Riverside Military Academy is around 53 miles. Driving would be the fastest and most efficient way to travel between these two locations, and the journey typically takes anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half depending on traffic.
The route would likely take you north on I-85 and then east on SR-53, or possibly north on I-985. However, the exact way may alter based on the time of day and traffic conditions. Keep in mind that Atlanta is known for its heavy traffic, especially during rush hours, so do plan accordingly.
Also, consider utilizing a navigation app like Google Maps or Waze for the most accurate, up-to-date travel information and for alternate routes in case of unexpected traffic or road closures. These apps can also often provide information about places to eat or rest stops along the way!
