About Athens and the University of Georgia

The University of Georgia, the state's flagship institution of higher education founded in 1785, is a land-grant and sea-grant university with state-wide commitments and responsibilities. For more information on the university, visit http://www.uga.edu/.

The city of Athens, also known as the Southeast's "Classic City," has many exciting attractions to keep you busy or help you relax in your off hours, including a vibrant downtown full of unique shops, restaurants, and nightclubs. A recent article in the New York Times said that "Its reputation as a cutting-edge music scene took off in the early 1980's after two homegrown bands, R.E.M. and the B-52's, hit the big time. The town has produced waves of fresh local acts and a growing number of live music sites since. Even if the music is not to your taste, the stately homes, lovely university campus, eclectic restaurants and sleepy Southern atmosphere provide plenty of other reasons to spend a few days in Athens" (http://www.nytimes.com/2002/05/10/travel/10HOUR.html).
