There numerous places to stay off-campus. Either through family housing apartments with the University, or private rental agreement elsewhere. Athens isn't very big so where ever you live it no more than 20 minutes from campus anywhere. Most are very close to campus. One can pick what kind of place to stay at and where. Some prefer not to be to close to campus others a 2 minute bus ride away. It's the city for good apartments at great rents. Standard of living lower, off-campus housing is way cheaper in the long run.

Girl's Style Verse Guys
Girls dress up for every occasion possible, especially if it is to go out downtown, or a house party. During the hours of classes one can usually tell from how one is dressed what type of major one has. Stylish girls who have the luxury to wear heels of any kind are no science, math, or any other hard studious subject majors. Those in a large t-shirt with jeans or tights or workout shorts are science, math, etc. majors. Art students are always unique in their outfits or grunge. The guys pretty much wear jeans and a t-shirt every day except when they go out then its maybe dress slacks and a polo shirt/sweater combo. The distress of their fabrics tell their perspective majors, more distressed harder major etc.

Parking Night Mare
There is parking everywhere but it is expensive and never ever under any circumstances. One has to go online to a website a fill out alot of information just to get on a waiting list, its mosty doen online, but heres the rub you have to go physically go in to the office which they never tell you is in a random building the same that houses the dinig hall to get your permit and pay for it. The permits are expensive. And the lines for school property and the city are very blurred so you might end up with two sets of tickets one from uga police and another for Athens police. One needs a car for of campu travel. Grocery stores or any stores are not within walking distance from anywhere on campus. Parking service sucks, with poor signage so you get stuck with tickets or fees.
