Why choose Athens, GA?
Athens, Georgia, is conveniently located about 70 miles east of Atlanta, and there is no shortage of culture, cuisine, and heritage.

Athens has been named one of the best college towns in the country, and in recent years the medical community has also experienced exponential growth with the opening of the Medical School of Georgia Athens Campus along with the initiation of its vibrant residency program.

Athens boasts its affordable cost of living, which is lower than the US average. Georgia is one of the most tax-friendly states in the US, which is one of the many reasons retirees are attracted to the city. In 2017, Athens was named the #1 ‘Best Place to Retire’ by Forbes Magazine. Many medical professionals call Athen’s charming neighboring Oconee County home, which is about a 10-minute commute to UCBC’s main campus and has an outstanding school system.
