My son is at UGA and I can confirm- the campus is huge! He does a LOT of walking to and from class. In some cases, students have to be careful to not schedule classes back to back since 20 minutes between classes isn’t enough time, e.g., to get from East Campus to North campus. On the flip side, he gets lots of exercise just from walking to class and rewards himself with ample desserts in the dining hall (he has always been a picky eater but says the dining halls are awesome!)
As for class size, he lucked out and got small classes this semester….his largest class has 28 students (math). However, the intro classes in his major are always large (85 or so). He is also in Honors, so will have the option of taking Honors sections for some classes. Honors classes are typically 20 students or so, but of course not available in all fields.
He chose UGA over several more selective colleges because of geographic proximity to home, Zell Miller full tuition, and the fact that they took all of his DE associate degree credits.
