I looked at Abbey West & Lakeside Apts. Butttt, I'm actually going to rent a room in this brand new townhouse with a girl I met. She's a young professional and lives off of Timothy Road. I went Friday and really liked it. I get a master suite, my own bathroom, and hardwood floors, what more could a girl ask for! I'm happy now and just need to worry about graduating this summer so I can actually go lol :P

Wait...is that one of those new brick ones on Timothy? There's a short row of them that face the road (and are pretty close to the road, too)? If so, I'm jealous. They're beautiful!

Ok, I just got home from my trip, and where do I begin?

I flew down on Sunday morning and arrived in Atlanta to pretty heavy snow. Drive to Athens, took about 2 hours and people were driving off the road left and right. Get to Athens, it just doesn't stop snowing. My hotel loses power temporarily. UGA closes campus for Monday, the day I had set up for a visit and to sit in on a class. There is nowhere to get food. I try to change my flight from Monday night to Tues night, or even Tues evening so I could go to campus on Tues, but they couldn't do it, couldn't do anything for me. I was able to walk around campus on Monday trekking through snow, and it was still the best campus I've ever seen, besides being unprepared for the worst storm they've had in 25 years, Athens is a great place. I was able to salvage the trip somewhat, have decided to attend, and even was able to look at apartments. I then went to Atlanta and checked out the ATL a while before my flight, which didn't go smoothly on the way home, but oh well, I'm home, and I'm going to UGA in the fall.

haha! I got stuck in Athens Sunday night because of the freaky snow. I'm glad that the experience didn't turn you off! Yay, I'm glad you're coming. :)

Yay, I'm glad your experience didn't throw you off. That was the first time in my four years of living in Atlanta that we got that much snow! That was highly unusual. Maybe I'll see ya in August!

Georgia is still in the running for me. How much are you all shelling out for rent?

I haven't settled on a place yet, but I'm guessing $300-400 per month. Under $500, definitely.

$400 per month. No deposit and no freaking $1000 pet fee!

Yes, the invitation said business attire. I have no clue about eating beforehand though.
