If Athens is “practically a suburb of Atlanta,” then Gainesville is “practically a suburb of Jacksonville.”

Auburn's got an ordinance that every building must have red brick, and with all of the new construction, campus is freaking beautiful nowadays

Athens was fun, I enjoyed ti. But I'll also say, Athens is the most similar to columbia mo of any college town ive been too. The layout, and bar/store similarity is crazy.

Sort of?

Our campus is substantially nicer though.

I've been to UF on a number of occasions. That's how I know you're trolling.

In UF's defense, the area around all of the athletics facilities is super nice

I’m not sure how Athens qualifies as the middle of nowhere. It’s like an hour and change from one of the biggest cities in the US.

If someone hasn’t been to Georgia’s campus, I invite you to google their campus. It’s just concrete buildings. And then google Florida’s campus, and you’ll observe a bunch of brick and vine clad halls.

No comparison in that one.

If it requires driving on 2 lane roads for over an hour with a maximum speed limit of 55, I qualify that as middle of nowhere.

Yeah, but Athens itself is much bigger than Auburn.

I wouldn’t say either is in the “middle of nowhere,” but maybe my definition is different than others.
