There a lots of great places close to mcg to live. Most people I know live in and around the Washington rd area. Stevens creek rd and Alexander dr both have a lot of apts and are great b/c they are connected to both washington rd and riverwatch. Its nice to have access to riverwatch b/c there are only a couple of traffic lights and it doesn't back up like washington rd does. There is another complex that a friend of mine lives in right off of green st and is probably less than a mile from campus. I can't remember the name of it right now. I think its graniteville something or other. It used to be a factory but now its a really nice place with nice lofts.
I'll be glad to answer any other questions if you have them.
