Congratulations on your acceptance to the MMR program! We have put together some information for you that will be helpful as you make plans for the next year.
Before you begin, please read the Graduate School's New Student To-Do List. Please remember that you will not be able to register for Summer classes until the following are completed:
You will be receiving an apartment guide in the mail which will help in your search. You may also want to check apartmentfinder.com, apartments.com and rent.com.
The Athens Convention and Visitors Bureau website has general information about the city. For information on restaurants, nightlife, concerts (aka the fun stuff), check out flagpole.com. Every year, Flagpole publishes a Guide to Athens that is really helpful for new students looking for a good restaurant/bar/concert. The Red and Black is UGA's student newspaper.
Go to Parking Services to apply for a parking permit. Most students this year parked in W04, which is a 4-5 minute walk to your classes. The majority of your classes will be at Caldwell Hall. View Parking Map

As a graduate student receiving an assistantship, all MMR students are required to have health insurance with these minimum required benefits. UGA provides subsidized health insurance through Pearce and Pearce - check out the Insurance section on the UHS website for more information. Please note that if you plan on using your own health insurance, you MUST waive out of the UGA Mandatory Plan. Otherwise, you will be charged for the student insurance! Details on the waiver process are available on the Pearce and Pearce web site.
The Office for International Student, Scholar &Immigration Services (ISSIS) is a good resource for international students. It includes help on things like how to obtain a Social Security number, open a bank account, and get a Georgia driver's license/ID card.
