Around Town

Dahlonega is in the middle of the Blue Ridge Mountains, so there are mainly outdoor activities to do. Many waterfalls and hiking trails are a short drive from campus. Not far from campus is a section of the Appalachian Trail to camp and hike on. Down the road in Dawsonville, there is more dining options along with a Tanger outlet mall.

For fun, my friends and I hike, get involved or volunteer, or hang out in square, shopping at the quaint shops or going to open mic night.

There's outdoors stuff, shopping on the square that is more than a handful of antique malls and general stores, and tons of stuff is always going on around campus. SAB and SGA have at least one thing planned for every day of the week.

On nice days, people bring out the Enos and hammocks and just hang them in any open tree on campus. Lots of people just sit outside on the drill field to read or study. Hiking trails are all around us, since we're right near the Appalachian trail. An outlet mall and movie theater is 20 minutes away. We have the Dahlonega square, a nice little downtown area with some shops and restaurants.

Anything outside!! Also there are a lot of organizations people can join.

Athens is the number one party town in the nation! The usual movies/restaurants/bars are very near campus. The beach and mountains are just a few hours away, so you can enjoy the beauty of nature. If that isn't enough, try Atlanta for the zoo, aquarium, plays, etc.

Dahlonega is the cutest little town and the college has over 150 clubs and organizations to chose from. Students will have no problem finding a place that they fit in. Plus, if the school doesn't offer your favorite club, it's easy to start a new one!

There are a huge variety of clubs at the school, including academic (math, physics..), athletic (rowing, climbing..) and various interests clubs. The North Georgia outlets are only a 30-45 minute drive away, and you are sure to run into classmates as many students here work at the outlets. There is a planetarium open every Friday, students in the theater club put on free plays for students, and the library has a huge selection of books and movies to check out to students for free.

Mostly outdoor activities, most of the students go home during the weekend so the campus is a ghost town. There are parties which are not bad and that's what most of the people do on the weekends if the party isn't bad. If your wanting to have a college experience with great social outings and good parties, not the school to come too.

Meet people. Go outside, hiking, camping. Go to the waterfalls. Have a nice meal with your friends in the square.
