Directions from the Airport
There are four main ways to get to Candler and Emory from Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport: Public Transportation, Taxi, Airport Shuttle, and Driving.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
Atlanta's mass transit system is MARTA (Metro Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority). Exact change ($1.75) or a refillable Breeze Card is required, which can be purchased from the vending machines at the airport and in all rail stations. Coming from the airport, take any train northbound to the Lindbergh MARTA station. From the Lindberg station, take the #6-Emory bus to the Emory campus—about a twenty minute ride. Ask the bus driver to let you off in the Emory Village (intersection of North Decatur and Oxford Roads). From this stop, walk past the main Emory gate, up the hill on Dickey Drive onto the campus. Walk right on the brick walkway between the first building on your right (the Administration Building) and second building on the right (White Hall). Follow the walkway and veer left past White Hall to Bishops Hall. The Admissions Office is to the left as you enter Bishops Hall in Suite 216.
