Athens, Georgia or Fayetteville, North Carolina


Received a job offer from one place, and anticipate that I have an OK chance at getting an offer from the other as well. In the event that I do... would have a decision to make (and fast--I imagine I'd have a week tops).

Ive never been to Athens. Ive been to Fayetteville a couple of times 20 years ago. I grew up in Raleigh. I have no desire to ever go back to Fayetteville. Theres not dick there, or at least there wasnt. Its a military town. Its a hick town. Its not a place most people would choose to end up. I just dont personally have good memories of the place.

For some reason being in a 'military hick town' doesn't necessarily bother me. I've lived in busy city atmospheres and I've lived in the 'burbs, though. Only kind of town I've never lived in is a small town.

Athens is a pretty nice area of Georgia all things considered.

What I saw of it looked fine to me. I don't have too much reservation about living in either town, even if they aren't exactly the same atmosphere.

A week or two ago I thought I was headed to Fairmont, WV. Things change fast.

If you like college towns then you will absolutely love Athens. Its easy to get around and the nightlife is a blast. Drinks are super cheap and no cover for bars. If youre in your 20s you will love it, but if youre in your 30s it might feel young to you.

Nah. You have to be within a 5 minute walking distance to Atlanta to be a hour away from Atlanta. Athens is more like 1 hour away from being stuck in I-75 for 3 hours.

I have no opinion of Fayetteville, but I lived just North of Atlanta for 8 years, in a few different areas. At the time my wife's mother lived in Athens so we frequented it. Atlanta and metro Atlanta deserves it's reputation, I hated it. Athens was like a completely different state and quality.

There's no real "bar scene" anymore in Georgia. There used to be a hot spot in Buckhead but it was killed by nimbys. There's still plenty of local dives and such to get drinks with your friends.

Oh snap. Georgia is actually full of record stores. Matter of fact the guys who started record store day are from Atlanta.

I went to UGA and lived in Athens. Its a great city: super cheap, great music scene, good nightlife/bars, a great mix of different kinds of people due to the university being there, always lots of fun stuff happening around the university/town, and just hot girls everywhere. I loved it. And youre only an hour from Atlanta (where I live now) which is also super fun.

I've visited both this past, Athens is better. This is coming from someone who likes military hick towns.

Fayetteville is in the worst place in NC. No awesome mountains on west or awesome beach stuff to the east, and it's a decent drive to either

Athens was fun and near everything

I guess where I feel conflicted is that the Fayetteville job is more appealing to me in terms of the content of the work, but it isn't enough that I would take it over the other position just on that alone.
