re: Most beautiful college campuses in the South

Georgia Tech is your rival? You just concede engineering to your rival? lol

UGA has existed long before Tech. Tech was founded in half-part by a UGA grad in the post-civil war reconstruction era in an attempt to educate and bring up mechanical engineers needed to rebuild Atlanta and the rest of the South. Hence both schools exist under the same University System (unlike Bama and Auburn, for example).

Google in Images "Athens Georgia mill town". You'll see.

I see some old black and white pictures and buildings not in Athens.
Otherwise, Athens is widely considered to be one of the best college towns in America due to its music and arts scene, extensive bar scene, and access to Atlanta as well as the north GA mountains and rivers. But, sure, mill town if you want to remain willfully ignorant.

UGA gets hyped up because all the rich atlanta kids go there.

It gets hyped because it's very good academically, the first public university in America, and (combined with the surrounding town of Athens, which was built specifically for UGA) is pretty damn beautiful
