University of Georgia - Housing


Athens is a bustling proto-typical college town.  Art studios, restaurants, shopping and picturesque small town living is enjoyed by students and university employees.  Many believe Athens to be about as perfect of a college setting as possible, big enough to offer all the conveniences while being small enough to still remain a true "college town".  Housing options have greatly improved in Athens as many off-campus housing options exist.

On-Campus housing can be arranged through the Student Housing office at the University of Georgia.  The University offers many options for families and other non-traditional student needs.

Off-Campus housing mostly consists of shared housing in Apartments or Home Rentals.  Most students find Craigslist to be the best option when seeking roommates, but ofcourse discretion should always be used when finding housing and potential roommates.  

If your budget will allow for it, housing near campus can reduce the frustration of trying to find parking.  It is always easier to park a bicycle than it is a car.
