If you are looking for an apartment near the University of Georgia, you’re probably looking for something that is a walkable distance from campus. With popular restaurants, shops, Greek life and campus all just a short walk away, downtown has become the most popular area for UGA students to live.
As a UGA student myself, I understand the importance of living close to campus. Snoozing your alarm just one more time each morning can make a big difference.
At Rambler, we are often told that proximity to campus is non-negotiable. And, it’s not just proximity to campus that matters – being near your specific classes is a game-changer.
