The University of West Georgia is the home of the Wolves and broken WiFi. We live for off campus food because Z-6 and EC aren't cutting it. Parking is more stressful than exams and club Ingram is the place to be any week night. Below are the ABC's of UWG, a simple list of things the students know all too well.
A is for Auxillary Services
Officially, they handle all things mail, dining, cards, and parking. Unofficially, they're the ones who will tweet you back all hours of the day to answer your random questions.
B is for Banweb
This is the thing that we check every hour while waiting for our final grades and if we have an unexpected fine.
C is for Campus Center
The campus center is the place to get in a quick workout and mastering the rock climbing wall.
D is for Divine Nine
This past semester, UWG welcomed all nine NPHC fraternities and sororities to campus. Together, these fraternities and sororities make up the Divine Nine!
E is for East Commons
If you're looking to get out of class, go eat some East Commons and feel the wrath of cafeteria food.
F is for Fees
UWG's favorite thing to do is charge us all miscellaneous fees that we can't afford on top of tution and housing.
G is for Greek Life
Greek life at West Georgia is composed of the College Panhellenic Council, Interfraternity, Multicultural Greek, and National Pan-Hellenic. Greek life definitely has a presence on campus and is a wonderful opportunity for you to get involved in the community.
H is for Coach Hall
Coach WIll Hall is the head football coach at UWG and a name everyone knows. We're thankful for all he's done for our team! GO WOLVES!
I is for Involvement
UWG offers so many different clubs and organizations that it's hard to pick just one. There are tons of way to get involved on campus from jobs, to clubs, to Greek Life, there are options for you!
J is for Jimmy John's
The best part on Jimmy John's is that you can either walk to it or have it delivered, it's that close. Nothing beats a cheap sandwich when your tired of school food.
K is for Kyle Marrero
Kyle Marrero is the President of UWG and all around great guy. #MakeKyleProud
L is for Library
Club Ingram is the place to hang out, study, or wait in the hour long Starbucks line.
M is for McDonald's
Let's be real, everyone gets tired of the school food. McDonald's is in walking distance and has endless appeals. Plus, their WiFi works when ConnectWestSEC goes down on campus.
N is for Newnan
Newnan is home of UWG other campus and a bit of a drive when you accidentally sign up for a class over there.
O is for the Oaks
The Oaks is the newest dorms on campus for freshman that fills up faster than you can blink.
P is for Parking
Or lack there of so to speak. Parking is a nightmare on campus and everyone always seems to be getting parking tickets.
Q is for QEP
The ridiculous acronym your professor has on the syllabus when he explains that you have to write a paper for your Math class.
R is for Row Hall
Where is that again? I always seem to get lost trying to find Row to pick up my hang tag for my car.
S is for Student Government Association
SGA is the official voice of the student body. If you have a complaint, a suggestion, or something you just want to say, these are the people you go to. They also give out a lot of free t-shirts and everyone loves anything with the word "free".
T is for Townsend Center
UWG's theater program is pretty amazing. Be sure to visit Townsend and see a show before you graduate. You'll go here at least once to get extra credit for a class.
U is for UCC
The UCC houses some of our favorites like: Chick-Fil-A, Subway, and the post office. Nothing beats the feeling of picking up a card from home and using the money to walk downstairs for some Chick-Fil-A nuggets.
V is for Victories
UWG's sports teams are pretty amazing. We've taken home several of wins and titles. Go Wolves! We can't wait for 2016-2017 sports!
W is for WOLF
Our internet radio station. They also host Wolf Stock which is a really cool event in the spring were local bands preform live on campus.
X is for Xing
I really had nothing better for this one, but I do cross the street daily on campus. When people don't slow down I still go saying, "Hit me. I need tuition money anyway."
Y is for Yik Yak
Yik Yak is an app where students can anonymously chat with other students. You can find out gossip, ask questions, or be annoying on Yik Yak. The choice is yours.
Z is for Z-6
Z-6 is the other cafeteria on campus and said to be better than EC because it has an ice cream bar.
