The extension of a bus route from the University of North Georgia to off-campus apartment complexes where many students reside is the result of growth that Mallika Dinesh saw coming. “I think we’re over capacity at the Gainesville campus,” she said about parking on site. “I think it came time to where they had to do something.” With nearly 8,000 students at the Gainesville campus, UNG is experiencing demand at unprecedented levels.
