Sightseeing
The arch is an iconic piece of architecture deeply embedded in UGA's history. It's located right where downtown meets UGA's beautiful historic north campus (which is worth visiting in itself!).
The legend holds that those who walk under the arch as students risk graduation! If you camp out in front of it long enough, you'll see busy students scurrying around the outside of the arch & proud alumni strutting through.
