ApartmentsForAthens Partners with UGA to Enhance Student Experience

Posted By: Nick Thomas Inspiration, News & Events,

In the heart of Athens, Georgia, ApartmentsForAthens proudly stands as more than just an online platform for apartment listings; we are deeply committed to being an integral part of the community. Today, we share two stories that reflect our dedication to not only serving the University of Georgia but also fostering a positive impact on the broader community.


Last summer, we collaborated with UGA Greek life to host a unique event – the UGA Sorority Rush Cool Off Tent. Our goal was clear: to create a comfortable space for Potential New Members (PNMs) during the rush process and introduce them to our free to use search tool. The tent featured seating, relaxation areas, makeup touch-up stations, and, most importantly, free refreshments and food provided by local partners Crumbl, Gyro Wrap and Taziki's. This event made UGA Rush better for the PNMs by crafting an atmosphere where students could unwind, socialize, and feel supported during a potentially stressful time. By partnering with local businesses, we not only contributed to a smoother rush experience but also showcased our commitment to enhancing the overall well-being of UGA students.
Our engagement with the community goes beyond events, as we are focused on establishing meaningful and long lasting connections with student organizations. By partnering with UGA’s Pre-Vet Club, we demonstrated how ApartmentsForAthens is built to serve the community. The feedback we thrive on comes directly from the community, and we actively incorporate it into our platform. For instance, a student's inquiry about filtering by birds and fish led to a showcase of our website's capacity to accommodate unique pet preferences. This event exemplifies our commitment to the Athens community, where UGA students play a significant role.


At ApartmentsForAthens, we believe in addressing the specific needs of various student groups to contribute to a thriving and supportive living environment. By actively engaging with the community and incorporating valuable feedback, we aim to continually improve our platform's features and services. Our partnership with UGA reflects our ongoing commitment to enhancing the overall student experience in Athens, making ApartmentsForAthens more than just a housing platform—we’re a community for students, by students.
