I knew that I would be going to The University of Georgia when I was in the fourth grade. I wanted to be a veterinarian at the time, and our dog's vet was a UGA grad, so that sealed the deal. By the sixth grade I'd decided I would be a journalist, but fortunately UGA has a great Journalism school as well, so I didn't have to change my plans much. I did end up going to UGA and graduating with a degree in journalism from the Henry W. Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication, although my career as a journalist was short-lived, by choice.

Going to the University Of Georgia was one of the smartest decisions I think I ever made. Not only was I in a wonderful city (Athens, Georgia) surrounded by some of the nicest people I've ever met but the school itself was impressive. I can just mention that I received a degree from UGA and people seem to respect you just a little more. Between my surroundings, my friends, and the real-life experiences I took from there, UGA will ALWAYS hold a special PLACE IN MY HEART.

And i will alsway yell "GO DAWGS!" rather than Gators (even though I now live in FLA)

I am  biased since i grew up on UGA, but it is a great school for the quality of education, price, standard of excellence and atmosphere.  I graduated in 2005 and then worked for the university for a year because i loved it so much.  Athens is a great town, with tons to do, and the school just adds to the southern hospitality.  There are negatives, like it being a big school, so sometimes it is hard to get into a class, but you always get it eventually, even if you have to put it off a semester (the registration process gives priority to those with the most hours), it's not as diverse as one... review »

An excellent school, the students always help the new freshmen out, the teachers are amazing, and if you love to party but still get your work done, then this is the place for you man. The athletic programs were amazing, I had a great time being in the football and wrestling programs, and I would return to this school and go through it all over again if I was given the chance to. Some shout outs (and recommendations) would be to Coach Zimmer and Dr. Walker, my wrestling coach and my amazing Biology professor who helped me out through some tough times.

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... review »

I am a third year at UGA and still love it. I now live in student apartments outside of campus, but I am not missing out on campus life.
I am majoring in Drawing and Painting, and Art Education. The Lamar Dodd School of Arts of UGA has an excellent program for all departments of art. Its challenging, yet still fun. The professors and teachers are mostly all down to earth while doing their jobs... (with an exception of a few)
Although the art building is a bit small, we have numerous smaller buildings around campus that are ours as well, and it works out nice... not too crowded all the time.
Better...

I graduated in 1976. The years I attended UGA were fabulous. I lived in Maryland at the time. Traveling back and forth, while long, was not unenjoyable. The time went by fast.

My stay at Georgia allowed me to meet different people, different lifestyles, and just a different way of doing things. Living around DC, everything was fast paced. When I got to Georgia, I had to learn to slow down. It was a good thing. I could learn to kick back and enjoy things. School came easy for me, so there was no stress, I partied a lot, made a lot of new friends, a few that I am still in touch with. I would not...

I was hesitant about going to UGA.  I really wanted a smaller school but ultimately decided to go there because of its reputation for having a wonderful early childhood education program.  Once accepted into the program I was in class with the same 30 girls for two years.  I loved the small, intimate classes where the professors actually got to know you.  I am graduating in December and am so glad that I decided to go there.

I am a graduate of the University of Georgia and I cannot think of anywhere else I would have wanted to go to college.  UGA has the great atmosphere of a large college with great professors and programs.  Even though the campus is large, I always felt like I knew so many people on campus because I was involved in a lot of organizations.

the University of Georgia in Athens is an academically rigorous school, but has an incredible social scene. There is always something going on. Athens is home to many famed musicians such as Widespread Panic. All around great school and getting a lot better.

UGA is a great school, where, even though it's large, you won't feel "lost in the crowd".  I have a PoliSci degree from SPIA and I think it's rapidly becoming a superior program.

 Of course, if you aren't from Georgia, there might be some hurdles to overcome, but we're friendly enough folk that you shouldn't have much trouble. 

 Great course offerings, great community, great athletics...not much to complain about. And the alumni network is alive and well.
