ApartmentsForAthens Joins Forces with The Red & Black: Transforming Student Housing

ApartmentsForAthens is thrilled to announce our new partnership with The Red & Black starting Friday, September 13th 2024. This exciting collaboration marks a significant milestone for us, as The Red & Black Publishing Company has selected ApartmentsForAthens as their official student housing website. Our partnership is designed to enhance the user experience for students, faculty, and residents of Athens, Georgia.

A Look at The Red & Black's Rich History

To fully appreciate the impact of this partnership, it's essential to acknowledge the rich history of The Red & Black. Established in 1893, The Red & Black began as a student-run newspaper at the University of Georgia. Since becoming an independent organization in 1980, it has grown into one of the largest and most respected student-led news organizations in the nation. The publication has earned numerous accolades, including membership in the Associated Collegiate Press Pacemaker 100 and recognition as the first student organization member of the Institute for Nonprofit News.

The Red & Black is much more than a newspaper; it's a vital part of the Athens community. Over the years, it has expanded its offerings to include guides, podcasts, and a comprehensive off-campus housing section, making it a central resource for students and residents alike.

This collaboration aligns with our shared values of providing valuable services and hands-on experiences to UGA students.

This ongoing connection with student talent ensures that we remain at the forefront of student trends and digital habits, whether in journalism, marketing, sales, or entrepreneurship.
