What's it like at UGA?

I’m also a current student (haven’t been around in awhile) and can say most racial divides are self-imposed. Jenmarie’s depiction of “Sorority girls, fraternity boys, non-Greek white people, blacks, Indians, Asians, and latinos” is actually pretty accurate. People tend to congregate with individuals of their ethnicity, but this isn’t to say that the groups don’t mix (that would be false).

I have made friends with several people who are from the north (particularly 3 from New Jersey) and they definitely have noticed differences, but they are all glad that they came. No one can really explain what the difference is to me, but they say it has a lot to do with attitude. If you have been down a few times though and like it after talking to people you will probably do well.

I’m a junior and have enjoyed every minute. There are few other universities that offer an undergraduate experience like the one you will get at UGA. The academics are very good, there is a very large student body, great athletics, and we have a great downtown social scene. Good luck.
