Ok, so I got accepted to Kennesaw State University (woo), but I have been trying to see how would be best to get there without wasting a billion dollars on gas. I was looking at the Marta, but their website is a heaping pile.

If I were to start in Lawrenceville (specifically, close to Riverside Parkway), what sort of route would I take to get as close to KSU as possible?

living in lawrenceville and driving to KSU is a BAD idea..

You would almost HAVE to take 85 south -> 285 west -> 75 north

and traffic would be a nightmare during traffic hours. I would look into living in marietta/kenessaw

Well, that's why I'm looking at the Marta, if at all possible. Plus the living conditions weren't really my choice totally, but I am kind of stuck with them for a while.

I would hate to have to ride the marta bus that far... the train doesn't run anywhere near kenessaw.

Google Maps

not sure excatlly where you live so I did it from my job(near my house) so you'd have an idea where I'm coming from.

I used to make this drive. traffic is going to suck no matter what. MARTA will suck even more as buses get stuck in traffic too. not to mention you'll be @ the mercy of the buses schedule and with all the changes and shit it'll probably take 2x as long to get there.

really I'd try to get into Gwinnett Tech or GSU.

Gwinnett Tech is out of the question, as I didn't go through all of the trouble to get a dual seal diploma in highschool to finish up with a tech school. I've never heard of GSU's Computer Science program, but I'm looking at it now.

GSU would be an easier commute. but you would have to pay to park everyday. but then again MARTA goes directly to GSU so that would be easier.

How about Georgia Tech?

I would love to go to GATech, however the cumulative GPA of my Math/Science courses is not a 3.0, so I don't meet the requirements for the Comp Sci major.

Plus, their application deadline was February 1st!
