The University of Georgia may not be the highest ranked academically, it may not have all the of the world-reknown names that Harvard or Yale may boast, and it may be in a college town, but these are all characteristics of UGA that make it such a great school. Coming from out of state, it was difficult at first, as the majority of the school is Georgia grown. However, being a social person, I overcame the fact that I knew only two people at the entire school. UGA enabled me to become involved in many things I would not have had the chance to do at a smaller or more rural university. Living in a college town allowed me to walk around without having to look over my shoulder all the time or feel unsafe. As a college campus, it was not completely void of crime, but it was a safe haven compared to Atlanta, which I now call home. The teachers I had, while some were TAs, were all very good. I don't remember any teachers that stand out in my mind that did a poor job. And being in sciences, that isn't very common. All I can say is I don't see how UGA could be a bad choice, unless you want to be an engineer or a nurse. There is a sense of anonymity that some people don't like, but at the same time, if you make an effort, you're more than just a number, despite the large size of the university.
I give it 3 thumbs up!
