Conner: Athens, Georgia


I went to college at the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia, about one and a half hours northeast of Atlanta. It’s a huge school with about forty thousand undergraduates. The campus is so big, we have our own bus system! I loved going to a big university; it made me feel like I was part of something bigger than myself.

There’s so much to do in Athens; it’s a small town, but we boast that we have over eighty bars and restaurants. Compared to Osaka, it’s tiny, but it’s the perfect size for a college town. 

If you’re into live music, you’re in luck; some of the best artists in the country play in Athens. Even though it’s a small town, it’s famous for its live music. Throughout the year, Athens hosts several music, arts, and food festivals.

Athens is also well-known for its beer! There are many delicious local beers to choose from. Beer in Athens is very different from Japanese beer. If you’ve only ever had Asahi Super Dry, I highly recommend trying “Creature Comforts” or “Terrapin.” 

Athens is unique because it has the perfect balance between a traditional southern town, and a twenty-first century college town. Every traditional southern town has good football, and UGA has a great football culture! Every game day, tens of thousands of people flock to Athens to watch the Bulldogs play. It’s like a huge party! If you’re ever in the southeastern part of America, I highly recommend going to a college football game; it’s a unique experience you’ll never forget.
