Georgia's campuses and the stories they hold.
Point University is unusual: instead of a walled quad, its campus is stitched into the historic storefronts and mill buildings of downtown West Point, on the banks of the Chattahoochee. Founded in 1937 as Atlanta Christian College in East Point, it renamed to Point University in 2011 and moved here in 2012, repurposing old textile-company and commercial buildings. This short walk links its academic heart to the railroad and Civil War history that made the town.
