I considered several schools but the number one choice for me throughout the entire process was the University of Georgia. Living in the state of Georgia, I wanted to take advantage of the financial help that the HOPE scholarship provides to students who excel academically. The city of Athens, Georgia is a great area with a budding music scene and many unique shops. The high level of academic standards along with the social life offered in downtown Athens, it was a perfect match for what I was looking for.

It's a community unto itself. Big beautiful campus.

The University of Georgia is located in one of the most liberal and most desirable areas of Georgia to live in. It also has a very strong biological sciences/pre-med program. The hope scholarship makes it really cheap (nearly free) to attend school here if you're a Georgia resident that has a GPA of 3.0 or higher.

They have a school completely devoted to International Affairs and Politics. As well as a Pre-business and pre-journalism program. It also has a highly recognized Honors Program.

The size of the university is quite large. This allows it to offer many kinds of classes and activities that would otherwise fall to the wayside.

Compared to the other schools (private), I was able to receive the HOPE Scholarship because UGA is a public university. The athletic program also makes UGA a unique college in the state of Georgia.

Even though there are over 35,000 students at UGA it is amazing how the school spirit seems to connect all Dawgs fans current, future and old. If you meet someone who went to UGA 20 years ago there is an immediate bond and understanding between those people.

The University of Georgia is very school spirited and all of the students are very helpful to new students. We have tons of student organizations, so there is a place for EVERYONE to fit in. We also have small and large classes, so it fits many learning styles for different students. People are afraid of the size of UGA, but while the campus is big, it really is like a small community where everyone gets to know almost everyone. It's the most amazing place on earth.

It's not as racist.

This school is huge but it feels small. It is small town with about 35,00 students shoved in it. It really is a great place ot be
