Best suburban areas in Georgia for students?

Looking at schools in Georgia and thinking about suburban living. What are some of the best suburban areas to live in as a student? I'm interested in somewhere with a good community feel and amenities.

There are a few Georgia suburbs that might be a good fit for you.

First, the suburbs around Atlanta have the advantage of being close to several major universities, such as Emory University and Georgia State University. One of these is Decatur, which is widely recognized for its strong sense of community and is home to a variety of restaurants, cafes, and stores.

Druid Hills, also near Atlanta, is more residential and quieter, but still offers good access to amenities. It's also home to Emory University's main campus.

Marietta, located northwest of Atlanta, is another good choice. This suburb has a downtown square with plenty of shopping and dining options. Plus, it's close to Kennesaw State University's main campus.

Suburbs in the vicinity of Athens, such as Watkinsville and Bogart, are also worth considering. These towns have a friendly small-town feel but are located close to the University of Georgia.

Alpharetta, located north of Atlanta, is known for its high standard of living and its great schools. It has plenty of amenities, including shopping and dining options at Avalon Alpharetta, North Point Mall, and downtown Alpharetta.

Remember, the important thing is to choose an area that aligns with your lifestyle and preferences. For students, you should also consider aspects like commute times to campus, cost of living, and the availability of part-time work opportunities.
