Around Athens
Located in northeast Georgia, Athens has grown alongside the University of Georgia and its students for the past two centuries. The Classic City, as it is known, mixes small-town charm and comfort with a progressive atmosphere and a rich art, music and intellectual culture.
Thanks to bands like the B-52's, R.E.M. and Widespread Panic, Athens was named the "Best College Music Town in the Country" by Rolling Stone. But music is only part of the area's charm. Athens was also ranked a "Top Arts Destination" by AmericanStyle, chosen as one of "America's Greenest Cities" by Popular Science and voted the nation's "Second Best College Town" by Sports Illustrated. Check out Athens, Georgia's latest press coverage, rankings, and accolades.

Faculty Insight
"Athens is a very livable city with vibrant in-town neighborhoods, an active arts scene and abundant recreational opportunities. There's always been good music here---popular, underground, and serious. Best of all, Athens is on the doorsteps of Atlanta, so you're close to all the amenities of the big city. It's a very desirable combination."
