The town of Athens is very unique. It has great restaurants, stores, and musical venues. There is always something to do. Many great bands originated in Athens and continue to come to town. The campus is beautiful and there are opportunities for everyone. Even though the university is large, you are able to get involved in groups that make it seem much smaller. I am involved in many organizations and have diverse friendships. It's easy to find a place to belong at UGA. Although some of the classes are large, there are opportunities to get to know your professors.

I am an Education major, and the program here is amazing. A degree from UGA is much more valued than any of the other schools I applied to. In high school, I could never find a group of friends that I could fit into well, but I knew at UGA (because it is so big) that I would be able to find the right group. I knew I would also be able to grow in my relationship with Christ here. UGA has so much to offer, and it promotes diversity while allowing someone to cling to what they find important.

For me, the main thing that separates the University of Georgia from any other school is the pride that comes along with it. There’s a certain energy that goes along with being a Bulldog that cannot be described. The fact that I get to walk by Sanford Stadium every day reminds me of Saturdays in Athens: students dressed in red, black, and white and screaming “GO DAWGS!” during kick-offs. There’s something about being a Bulldog and the pride that comes along with it that distinguishes it from any other school.

It's hard to go wrong with UGA, which is strong academically and athletically. It has so many opportunities for it's students as far meeting others, traveling abroad, and having fun. The school is BIG but can feel very small. The dining hall food is great! The sports evoke so much spirit out of the students it's insane. The freedom to take naps on benches pretty much anywhere in the campus and not be judged. The Nigh life is great! Downtown is fun! There's plenty to do! The courses are intriguing and challenge the students. It's just an amazing school! :D

Being somewhat of a history nerd, the University of Georgia was the first charted university in the United States. It housed and taught many of the great Confederate soldiers and politicians, and even was taken over in the Civil War by the Union. The athletic program has surpassed many of the competiting universities, and has a deep history in football-so deep that a Saturday in Athens on gameday beats all others. UGA compared to other schools I considered had more history all around in founding, students, and lifestyle that it was the perfect place to go!

The University of Georgia is the only school I applied to because it was my dream school. My senior year of high school, whenever someone would ask me where I was going to college, I always told them with pride the University of Georgia. Even now when people ask me, I can not help but to feel proud when I tell others I am a student at UGA. It is a great school because there is something there for everyone and there are always new people to meet. I would never want to go anywhere else!

The University of Georgia is located in a welcoming and exciting town. Athens is a great place to discover new things such as great music, unique restaurants, and loads of history. The school is very large, which gives each student opportunity to explore their interests, but the school also offers many events and clubs to guide students to finding their niche. All and all, the University of Georgia is unique in the fact that it is so good at fitting a diverse populations interests, giving a very broad range of perspectives; important to a well-rounded college experience.

UGA has a great football team that makes the students here feel more proud of their school and makes them closer by chearing the georgia bull dawgs.

It is a good mix of academic and social experiences. The quality of academics is very high, but the campus is relaxed and there are many opportunities to explore social life. Also, there are many opportunities to explore career interests.
