Thanks for the help, tween! This does feel like a great college town. Very pretty campus and awesome downtown

If you're already downtown, go to the Georgia Theater rooftop. Great place to grab a drink depending on the weather. That's where I'd be right now if I were there.

If you're into nature, go to the Botanical Gardens. They're about 5 miles South of downtown on Milledge. Hike the White Trail (my favorite). If you're into animals, go to Bear Hollow Zoo. It's free, and down S Lumpkin (about 2 miles from campus). They have rescue exotics, including bald eagles. there's also the Sandy Creek Nature Center.
If you're into the bars, just pick one.
Restaurants, depends on what you're in the mood for. Mama's Boy is a local favorite, Etienne, The Grill (cheap drunk food,,, get their feta and fries), NONA (New Orleans Style), East West, Trappeze, Last Resort (I think it's dinner only), The Globe, yada yada yada...
If you're into FroYo go to Yoforia. The one downtown is next to Waffle House.
And of course, Terrapin.
