Law School Discussion

You may be the party, but I've got the pool, which is much more important during August in Atlanta!

Jacy: If you need someone to show you around Hotlanta, let me know. I grew up here (only about a three minute drive from Emory, as a matter of fact), lived away for six years, and have lived back here for two years. I'll be around till August 10 or so, when I head out to Athens. Which apartment complex did you choose?

As for finishing work: My last day of teaching is June 10, then I grade final exams and move out of my classroom. The one hitch is that I'm signed up to teach a college essay summer school course in July, but it's only three hours a day, so I don't consider that to be real work.

Thanks. Good info to know. Good luck! Athens is very cheap compared to DC (even Atlanta is cheap compared to DC).

I'm tempted to buy rather than rent, but even if I could get a decent down payment from the profits of selling my condo in Atlanta, I'd still be taking out loans all through law school, so I figured it didn't make sense to pay one loan (school loan) toward another (mortgage). But after being a homeowner, I'm sad to go back to renting. Sigh.

Anyway, as for Athens itself (I'm not very familiar with the area, but here's my two cents from brief visits): downtown is cool, but I think it's mostly apartments located above shops, and heavily populated by undergrads, so it may be noisy. West Athens is also nice, and on the quiet side; lots of small houses, some of which are subdivided. East Athens has a lot of new condo/townhome developments with pools, tennis courts, etc., if that's more your style.

Good luck with your search. And thanks for the compliments about Southern ladies--proud to be one of them.

Yep.

No one else seems to be responding to UGA threads, though.
