    4. Hoag Student Center

      You know those scenes in the movies of the kids in college hanging out in the student center and it makes you wonder if they EVER go to class? Hoag is like a scene from those movies. With multiple dining options upstairs and an Einstein Bagel Bros. downstairs as well as a computer lab and loads of lounge-style seating options Hoag is a popular (between class) hangout spot. And with a location central to the rest of campus it’s never too far away.

    5. Young Hall

      The name “Young Hall” is rather ironic considering it’s the second oldest building on campus. Recently renovated to have state-of-the-art classrooms and presentation equipment, this building houses the history, social science, and political science departments, as well as some of the larger classrooms on campus. Don’t let large classrooms scare you though, the professor to student ratio at UNG is 1:21, so the chances of being on a first-name basis with your professor is much higher here than those larger schools.

    6. The Arches

      One of the most popular spots on campus for a photo op., the arches were built by the Class of 1951 to commemorate their classmates who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the Korean War. You’ll notice that we said “Arches” and not just “Arch” that’s because you’ll use the tiny arch during your Freshman year as per a long-standing tradition here in Dahlonega. Once you survive your first year feel free to use the larger arch with all the other Upperclassmen! Since we are 1 of 6 senior military colleges in the country, UNG has a rich history that plays a huge role into several traditions on campus. This is just one of those respected traditions. Freshmen, little arch please!

    7. Price Memorial Building

      With a degree from UNG, you are carrying 145 years of tradition and reputation behind your diploma- and those 145 years started right here. This historic building (the oldest on campus at 145 years old) has a real-life golden steeple on top. You will see this iconic steeple as you come down the mountain (or up the mountain) to Dahlonega as this building stands above the rest in town. While Price used to be a U.S. mint (gold was turned into money) it has since been renovated and houses the President’s Office, and the Center for Global Engagement (the people you’ll see if you choose to study abroad) among others.

    9. North Georgia Suites

      Don’t like the idea of sharing a bathroom with an entire hall of people? Why not share with just 2 or 3 other people. Housing in the Suites is two, two-person rooms connected by a shared bathroom space. Each hall has a common room with couches and a big TV for everyone to share and still gives the hall a sense of community like traditional dorms often have. The Suites are probably most popular for the spectacular view of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the convenient parking.

    10. Health & Natural Sciences

      The Health & Natural Sciences building (HNS) is infamous for the hill leading up to it (affectionately called the HNS hill).

HNS is equipped with state of the art labs, classrooms, a physical therapy clinic, patient simulation labs, a planetarium, and a cadaver lab.
