    The competitive intensity within the classroom, along with the rigor of each course are what makes Georgia such an elite school academically. Georgia has many amazing professors that clearly know the entire face of their preferred subject. Georgia offers an abundance of course types with different levels which helps students to increase the amount of rigor in their schedules. The school itself is very well-built and well-kept. All of the staff at Georgia works tremendously hard to keep the facility safe. Everyone loves coming out to watch Georgia football. The environment on gameday is insane! I love Georgia’s culture as it’s so easy to make friends as there are a multitude of people on campus at all times. Georgia is a place that will better students’ academic and social lives, and will teach them valuable life lessons along the way.

    This school is phenomenal! There is a niche group for anything you can possibly imagine, and we have some of the best students on Earth! I have never seen a group of young people toss aside their differences in support like I have witnessed here at UGA. Academically, I could not have chosen a better school, and all of my peers agree. The faculty and staff truly wish to see every student succeed, giving our big school a smaller, family-like feel. The campus is historic and stunning, while also teeming with thousands of activities and clubs for anyone. There is a rich mix of culture, learning, and camaraderie, and it is somehow all boiled down into the city of Athens. Geographically, I love that most people are between 18-24, as it made transitioning into a different city as a freshman significantly easier. The University of Georgia has served its students in every way possible, doing so with the dignity and pride that the Bulldawg Nation is noted for.
    Throughout my application process to UGA, I have been helped immensely by the wonderful staff there. I am super excited to attend classes and be involved in the student life! The counselors, professors, coaches, tour guides, and admissions team are all excellent! The town of Athens that surrounds the college is very charming and has many things to offer. There are nice places to dine and entertain yourself. I have never seen a college quite like this one. I am really looking forward to having a wonderful time while getting my education at UGA in Athens, Georgia.
