Travel & Accomodations

As you begin to plan your trip to Athens, we wanted to provide you with some helpful details.


Transportation:
If you are flying, the closest major airport is the Hartfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL). It is approximately 80 miles from Athens and generally a 1 1/2 hour car drive to campus, depending on traffic. Consider this when scheduling flights and be sure to leave extra time in case of delays or traffic incidents. You should plan to get into Athens no later than Sunday morning as the informational session will begin at 1pm on that day. There is also a smaller airport serving Athens, Ben Epps Airport. There are now cheap flights flying from ATL to Athens. Depending on your plans, this may be an affordable option.


A shuttle is available directly from the airport to Athens, with stops at local hotels and campus. If you choose this option, you will need to call ahead and make a reservation. Rental cars are another option used in the past.


Accommodations:
Those who are interested in housing have the options of being hosted by a current CSAA student or stay at a Athens hotel. Jason F. will be in contact with all interviewees with regards to CSAA student hosting and be sure to let him know if you are interested!


In terms of hotels, one of the most convenient options is the Georgia Center for Continuing Education, located directly on campus.

Also close to the interview locations are the Holiday Inn, the Holiday Inn Express, and the Hilton Garden Inn. All three are within walking distance to campus, with the Holiday Inn being right across the street and the Hilton Garden Inn located right downtown - a must see for any Athens trip! All four are great options if you do not have access to a car.

Other options include:

Best Western
Comfort Inn
Courtyard by Marriott
Days Inn
Foundry Park Inn
Howard Johnson Inn
Even more options


If you have any questions about either traveling to UGA or accommodations, please let Jason know!
