The trick to living in Athens is finding the shittiest looking place with the lowest rent so that you can humble yourself and spend most of your time in the main library. That’s how my GPA is so high
Player's Club!! I pay $380 a month, not including water, wifi, or electricity/gas. There are hella bugs here... we get house centipedes, spiders of all shapes and sizes, flying cockroaches, flies, slugs, and more! It's practically a zoo here. Also, my ceiling randomly collapsed last month and rained plaster everywhere. You get what you pay for I guess...
I live in Riverbend Club (same guys that manage Player’s I think) and we get crickets and lizards pretty frequently too. At least my roommate’s emotional support cat likes to catch them for us, lol. You kinda get used to the shittiness after awhile, and you get your own bedroom & sink, so it’s not so bad there
yeah, that's what im worried about cause it would be a long walk to walk to campus but I don't want to rely on a bus system that's unreliable. Like I don't mind paying extra for a place closer to campus if their shuttle isn't reliable.
I looked at The Lodge last year because my roommate and I liked the idea of having a shuttle to campus, but ultimately we chose The Reserve (off the east side of campus, maybe 2 miles away from the IM fields) because it was a similar price range, but there's a UGA bus that picks up less than half a mile away, and we decided that would likely be more reliable (and it has been, I hear a lot of issues with apartment complex run shuttles). There are occasional bugs, but that is basically a problem anywhere (and all of them that I've seen have been dead). Just request an upper-level apartment to lower the likelihood of anything too bad.
My daughter lived there last year and hated it even before COVID. Management was terrible in terms of communication and getting work orders filled was never easy. She lived on the second floor and her boyfriend was in a first floor apartment. She said bugs were much worse on first floor than second.

Lmao main library is the best
Good luck finding a place with no bugs...
My buddy lived there for a year and I would go over all the time, to put it best it’s alright, the bus is never on time though
Oh, yeah, my daughter complained about the bus too

Scarborough Place is the best... but there’s no turnover there
woodlands or the summit 450-500
