It was somewhat unique for it's time.... every other university in the country at the time was private. UGA was the first public one. Today, we think of that as normal. In 1785, it was unique.
Like I said: we Georgians were a forward thinking bunch.
quote:
Athens was created along with UGA. There was no Athens before UGA, and no UGA before Athens.
This is really the key to what makes Athens so wonderful and unique. It has existed for over 200 years as a virtual extension of the University. No other non-major city (except maybe Chapel Hill) can really claim the same.

Nobody appreciates this for what it's worth
