Clearly the town-gown issue is a common phenomenon throughout the nation but certain colleges and universities are taking large steps to better the community relationships. The link below displays the top 25 colleges and universities that are doing the most to improve relations amongst the university and the town. In the cases here there is not a struggle for power between the town and college or attempts to get the most real estate from the town simply to better the university. These schools recognized a need to connect with their community and were rewarded for their success. Unfortunately UGA is not on this list but if UGA uses these schools as an example, the town-gown issues in Athens will greatly improve.
