For anyone thinking about applying to UGA, these advantages will surely help you make up your mind. For a long time, UGA has been my dream school. So I asked a few UGA friends of mine how their experience has been so far!

Various centers for study


"Well there's a variety of study spaces available for students on campus. There are group study rooms and individual spaces. I like to study in the digital media wing at the Miller Learning Center because they have Mac computers available for students to use and it's quiet. The university has an endless amount of resources and spaces for students to work." — Caitlyn K.

I heard from my friend that there are many centers and libraries where students can study without being disturbed. I found this especially useful because it would be a great way to focus and really spend time studying during midterms and finals.

School Spirit

"If you walk outside on game day almost everyone is wearing red, black, or white." — Preethi A.

"Students at UGA have a lot of school spirit and take pride in being apart of the Bulldog nation. Our team gets lots of support every game because we are used to winning!" — Shawna D.

Another thing I noticed from my friends' stories about the college was the unity among the students. The UGA bulldogs were especially united and supportive of their football team.

Friendly, supportive staff

"All the staff member's are friendly and inviting. Most try to get to know you and are understanding." — Danielle D.

According to my friend and many of the students attending the college, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The teachers are also the same way — supportive and helpful.

Amazing food quality, taste and availability 

UGA food from dining hall

"Everyone can find something to eat at UGA. They have various food options including vegan cupcakes and soy spaghetti for those who have food restrictions or are on a diet." — Preethi A.

One of the most popular opinions of UGA, I heard, is that it has one of the best cafeterias any college can offer. It has a wide variety of food to offer and there were options for everyone (vegan, vegetarian and non-vegetarian) and according to many, the food was amazingly delicious.

Calm atmosphere

"On the weekends most people go home, but if you don't, you can still enjoy your time on campus. The environment is very peaceful and quiet, except for when there's a football game, of course." — Preethi A.

One of the best things students at UGA like is that the atmosphere is very calm and serene, proving a great place for students to study and concentrate without too many distractions.

Well-equipped gym and courtyards

"I have a friend who plays badminton about four times a week, and she really loves our gym." — Preethi A.

Personally, I haven't visited nor seen a picture of their gym before, but many of my friends who toured the campus told me it was great place to work out with different kinds of machines. Many students take time to relax and enjoy themselves by playing sports on the courtyards around the UGA campus.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
