Jan Margaret finds that the vibrant university community makes Athens a wonderful place to live. She grew up in a college town, so Athens reminds her of home.  She enjoys football games as well as some great restaurants and coffee shops. She always finds something to do in Athens; the problem is that, as a law student, she has discovered there's often not enough time! Most importantly, Jan Margaret finds her peers at the law school to be an outstanding community of bright minds and inspiring individuals.
