The campus at the University of Georgia is quite vast. Wheels are required to get from place to place in a timely manner! Great walking environment though; beautiful scenery and crazy large Sanford Stadium.

Overalll, UGA was great. I don't think I appreciated it while I was there. I was so against the football culture that I never went to games or really took the time to experience it. Instead, I just assumed I wouldn't like it. So I would say to go to all the home games, tailgate, celebrate downtown after a win. It's fun. Don't fight it. Just embrace it. Athens is a great town w/ fabulous food, music, bars, etc. See and do it all.
