JESSIE REESE

This off-campus living guide was put together with students in mind. It includes all you need to know about the housing options off campus, the restaurants around Statesboro and even a few off-campus parking options.

Living in Statesboro has taught me a lot about the town that surrounds our university. It has taught me that if the Taj Mahal-looking El Sombrero is packed for happy hour, you have two other El Soms to choose from. Or, if you are willing to hurtle over boxes, you can visit Wal-Mart after midnight when there are still only two registers open, but you avoid the ever-present crowds.

Even after four years in the ‘Boro, I was surprised while making this magazine at how many restaurant and housing options are available in our little college town.

I hope you will find this guide to off-campus living useful and informative. Maybe it will cut out questions you have while apartment searching, or show you that there are many places to eat and drink and spend your money locally. In an age where phone books are becoming obsolete, I think that this guide will give you more than what you are Googling for.

I would like to thank the local housing complexes and restaurants that answered our many phone calls so that we could give students a complete off-campus guide. I would also like to thank Student Media’s candidates and designers who helped put Our Neighborhood together. Without you, this guide would not have been possible.
