Statesboro, Georgia is an extremely special place. Not only to me but to all people lucky enough to experience the life of being a Georgia Southern student. As any Eagle knows, there are so many places to live. There are apartment complexes, subdivisions, dorms.... and then, there's Burkhalter Plantation.
Burkhalter is a place like no other, and I'm pretty sure I speak for everyone when I say that. It's a place where there is always something to do, something to drink, and fun to be had. Residents themselves have told me that they feel like a family in a sense, and that is partly due to the 300+ person GroupMe that they all share.
Burkhalter Plantation is the best college neighborhood out there, and if you don't know that yet - here are a few reasons to sway you.
1. Hurricane Heromine? Nah, Borocane mudbog seems like more fun.

7. Almost every house has a dog... and who doesn't love dogs?
