<p>In addition to the steller number of Rhode scholars, UGA ALSO boasts 13 full-bright scholars with 68 applicants. That’s topping UofF, Emory, USC and Cornell. </p>
<p>UGA also has a Marshall Scholar this year - a very prestigious honor, more so than the full-bright. </p>
<p>Not bad for the “drunk college town”, huh?</p>
<p>Also, for those of you who still believe UGA is JUST a party school know that there is plenty to do in Athens if you’re not into partying all day long.</p>
<p>What critics fail to mention is what you CAN do in Athens. There is so much to do here.and the fact that UGA students are some of the fittest, athletic and sportiest students around. </p>

<p>A lot of students are into outdoor activities. Hiking, boating, camping, kayaking, whitewater rafting, snorkeling, diving, fishing, hunting etc. are easily done in Athens. Athens has that nice little southern town feel. We have almost 700 student organizations and a good bunch of them consist of intramural sports. The benefit of having nice green spaces and open areas is that any sort of outdoor activity is only a few minutes away. This isn’t easily done on congested campuses.</p>
<p>Athens has plenty of concert venues for up-and-coming bands. REM was founded in Athens. Of course, you may have more variety at the Masq or Tabernacle in Atlanta, but I can personally vouche for the more affordable and regular concerts in Athens than in ATL.</p>
<p>And the food? Ever been to Your Pie? Rusans? China Wok? Grit? Athens has plenty of great places to eat for cheap.</p>
<p>The art scene is huge in Athens. It attracts a bunch of hipsters which may or may not be your cut of tea…I don’t mind them.</p>
