I’m having a hard time picking between the University of Texas at Arlington and the University of Georgia. Does anyone have any experiences or opinions with one or both?
Thank you!
@lilypad1220 Both are reputable institutions. UGA more so than UT Arlington generally speaking. But UT Arlington is fastly growing in prestige and is at a cheaper price which is a plus.
If you got a full scholarship, obsessed with college football, Republican, and don’t care for diversity I say go to UGA
If you got a full scholarship, not obsessed with college football, Democrat, and love diversity I say attend UT Arlington.
I am currently attending UT Arlington and from personal experience, I would NOT reccomend coming here. For starters, the counselors are notoriously unhelpful- instead of helping, they tend to make situations more confusing. The social life on campus is nonexistent considering that this is a huge commuter school. On the weekends, it is not uncommon to not see anyone. The only social outlet on campus would be the limited Greek Life, but if you’re considering a budget that may not even be an option for you. Nearly everyone I met considers this school a “pit-stop”, and is planning on transferring out as soon as possible (myself included). The only majors that they are notable for are nursing and engineering, however the nursing program is so competitive that you must maintain a high GPA to even be considered. From personal experience, I would go to UGA depending on the net cost of attending it.
