About Student Housing in Athens
Athens, Georgia is the classic college town, a creative, music-soaked city in the northeast Georgia hills built around the University of Georgia. UGA's cast-iron Arch marks the line between North Campus and Downtown, and that downtown grid is where student life concentrates, packed with venues, the live-music scene the city is famous for, and easy walks to class. Students cluster in named areas like Downtown, Five Points, and Normaltown, each with its own personality. Green space runs from North Campus to the trails at Sandy Creek, and every summer the free AthFest music and arts festival takes over the streets. As a UGA student renting here, you get one of the most walkable, genuinely fun college towns in the South.

Near the health sciences campus, with a laid-back, local vibe and more space a little farther from the core.
