I love living here! Between the amenities offered (like the gym, the pools to the buses that take you to campus) to the price of rent, I think you are receiving a great apartment! As every place does, it has its moments, but maintenance is good and I have had no problems with the front office. 10/10 recommend!

Living at The Connection at Athens has been such a great experience. The apartments are spacious, modern, and comfortable — definitely one of the better student housing options in Athens. The amenities are awesome — the pool, gym, and clubhouse make it easy to relax or hang out with friends. Maintenance requests are handled quickly, and the staff is always friendly and helpful.
The location is super convenient too — close to campus and downtown, but still quiet enough to focus when you need to.... The shuttle service makes getting to class easy, and parking has never been an issue for me.
Overall, I’ve really enjoyed living here and would definitely recommend The Connection to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-managed place to live in Athens.
