Things to do in Athens
Athens is home to the University of Georgia, chartered in 1785 as the first state-chartered public university in the country, and the campus shapes nearly everything about the city. Research, healthcare and university business bring a constant flow of visiting faculty, parents, recruiters and donors, while the downtown that borders North Campus is full of restaurants, bars and music venues. Athens also has an outsized place in rock history as the town that produced R.E.M. and the B-52’s, and live music remains a nightly fixture.
