About This School
College of Athens is a private nonprofit institution located in Watkinsville, Georgia with approximately 70 undergraduate students enrolled. In-state tuition is $9,050 per year.
The numbers tell a mixed story here — with only 70 undergraduates, you'd get an unusually intimate, tight-knit academic environment, but the 50% freshman retention rate is a genuine red flag worth pressing the school to explain. That means roughly half of entering students are leaving before sophomore year, which could signal financial instability, unmet student expectations, or both. Worth considering only if you've visited in person, spoken directly with current students, and have a clear sense of why this school fits your specific goals in a way others don't.
