The U Athens is a great place to live if you're trying to save money. The buses that stop here are extremely convenient for class and/or work on campus or if you like to go downtown. It's nice having your own bedroom and internet, butā€¦Ā See More >

              There is always a lot of noise outside the apartments, and there are constant maintenance issues with the apartments. The quality of the apartments is definitely unsatisfactory. However, there are plenty of amenities that are well-tended to.

                        I get living on a budget, but don't move here. I moved here because I got into my major when I didn't expect it and it was a last minute option. Regret it completely. Mold everywhere. Furniture isn't what they said. Goodwill has better quality.
