Main Campus

Located in the Classic City of Athens, approximately an hour northeast of Atlanta, the main University of Georgia campus thrives in a community that promotes the benefits of a culture-rich college town with a strong economic center. The campus is home to 17 schools and colleges, more than 28,000 undergraduate students, and nearly 6,000 graduate students. During the summer, the Athens campus enrolls over 15,000 students, providing smaller class sizes and lower student-instructor ratios than during the academic year, creating a more relaxed environment for learning.
Athens maintains its vitality during the summer with an annual music festival, farmer’s market and other popular attractions in the city. There’s also an abundance of outdoor summer activities to take advantage of in the Athens and northeast Georgia area, like hiking, kayaking, white water rafting and cycling. If you’re thinking about taking classes in Athens, here are some resources to consider:
