Health & Safety
I've never felt unsafe at UGA. There is always a crowd of people and their southern hospitality always makes you feel welcome. The freshmen dorms are across the street from the government housing, but they don't bother anyone.

Nightlife
Athens nightlife is top-notch. There are over 90 bars and mostly all of them are 21 years or older, but if you know someone you can always get in. Football season brings a plethora of frat parties that it is almost overwhelming. In the spring there is at least 2 huge fraternity parties that follows their big philanthropy. Getting downtown if you life just off campus or in a dorm is a breeze. Taxis are always available and the cab drivers are usually really funny and nice. It only costs $5 to get anywhere from downtown. You can also catch people late night eating at local dives such as Little Italy.

Weather
We live in Georgia. Enough said. The summers up until about October it can be grueling hot, and you need to check the weather everyday before stepping out in the months of November thru March. We don't usually have much rain, but when it does getting around campus isn't too fun. There are only a few weeks out of the school year when you can find everyone studying outside together because the weather is finally just right.
