on the fence about coming in next fall from ksu - will be a junior when I do
What's the protocol for someone who doesn't get housing on campus and can't afford to live off campus? What if my scholarships are paying for my on campus housing? Do I just drop out?
To anyone who has taken one or both of these or heard things from their friends; I need help, which one is easier?😄
In case someone has a housing appointment for second year dorms, the only options left are doubles in Brown Hall, doubles in Mary Lyndon, and doubles in Reed Hall.
I shouldn’t have been so hopeful in getting a single on campus dorm for my second year, I should’ve listened to the overwhelming amount of people saying its impossible to get one. Thought id have a better chance with the first possible appointment time, but nope.
I'm interested in transferring from my smaller AZ university to UGA for the fall 2025 semester in order to experience a different college! I'm hoping to take some higher level psych classes and make a couple friends! Do yall have any advice for me in regard to events I should attend or UGA traditions I can't miss? What is the social scene on campus like? Are there places in the surrounding town area that you recommend visiting? What are the classes like? Is there anything I should be aware of (or warned about) before attending?
Hey there, sorry if this is an obvious question.
I’m an incoming grad student who registered for housing for the 25-26 school year.
Have notifications already gone out? If not, when do you think they will?
As of this point I am very disconnected from everything here, so I appreciate any responses.
Hello! So I’m a potential incoming grad student for this fall and I’m kind of panicking. I had a really weird undergrad experience (transferred 3 times and was a commuter student where I graduated from) so I never got a real college experience. Uga is huge and it intimidates me. I would plan to live in an apartment off campus but idk which one or where just get I haven’t gotten that far. Does anyone have any tips on the life at UGA for a grad student? I’m not a big drinker but would still go out for fun. Just looking for any other grad students opinions!
I get room pick later today, I can't tell from the looking at the floor plan. Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
I found it on handshake, which is an app to help college students (or anyone) find a job. I already applied for an on campus job but it didn’t make me make an account to apply. Only asking because it’s now asking for my ssn, which is a bit odd. The last 4 digits are one thing but the whole ssn? idk, does anyone know anything about this? I guess maybe it could because of the specific job i’m trying to apply for (campus market- student assistant) any help would be great! I don’t want to give my info up unless i know it’s legit :)
i am going to study at uga. im an exchange student. can someone send me the compsci discord pleasE?
i’m a full time english major student and i’ve never had a job before. don’t even know what to put on my resume but i need a job that i can do just to earn any money. what should i do? is there any pary time jobs nearby campus that i can even apply for?
Hey so I am currently a high school senior who has been accepted at both UGA and GA Tech their under civil engineering programs. I love both schools but I don’t know where to go! Can anyone be honest and let me know the pros and cons of UGA’s engineering program as well as school culture?
Any set schedule for what time Bolton serves breakfast on weekends? I know it says it ends at 11:30 AM, but I’ve seen them serving breakfast as late as 3 PM sometimes. I enjoy being able to eat breakfast after sleeping in a little later on weekends, but I’m just curious if there’s a schedule time I’m missing.
I asked a worker and they said it’s all-day, but I know thats not true either.
edit: what times are the least busy
Hello, is there any housing available close to campus that isn’t sold out? I have forgotten to renew my lease for my current apartment complex (polo club and am looking for alternatives)
They’re just standing on the side of the street, on Hull, Lumpkin, and I just saw one come out of the Fine Arts building. They are all in yellow vests.
Does anyone know if something is going on on campus or is this part of a regular practice?
hey everyone,
I made a website that basically shows you what courses transfer over from UGA to GT
let me know what you think, it's still a work in progress, but any feedback would be great https://evillatoro.github.io/Path2Course/
I took inspiration from this tool (which is great btw)
https://www.gt-scheduler.org/
thank you,
Edwin
Yooo. What happened at Vandiver?
Hey y’all, I’m a student tryna start a fish keepers club since the school doesn’t seem to offer anything related to that. The only thing is, however, that I don’t have any aquarist friends to get the 6 members I need to start a club. I love fish keeping and have had many tanks prior to the one I have in my dorm right now. Anybody interested? LMK in the comments.
I know that Tate has free parking after 5, but is that in the lot that says permit only, or is it also in the guest parking lot?
(Sorry for any grammar or spelling issues, I'm on mobile.)
I'm a first year student currently attending UNG and working towards a geospatial science degree. I applied to UGA majoring in geography my senior year of highschool and got accepted, but decided to go to UNG because it was much cheaper for my specific situation.
I like UNG's program, but there aren't as many opportunities for research or student involvement as I would like. After seeing a lot of my friends' positive experiences with UGA I started worrying if I made the right choice.
I meet the admissions requirements for transfers, but I'm hesitant because of the much higher cost and how difficult the transfer process can be.
If anyone has any experience with transferring or the Geography major, I would really appreciate any input you might have.
There's an uneven distribution of benches on this campus. It's so weird. You'll have the bus stop at Tate with zero benches, and then, you'll see Aderhold with benches galore. A surplus of benches. A rather ridiculous amount. Why are they like this?
Just found these on the third floor of Caldwell hall. Dm me if these are yours
How hard is getting a 2 bed 2 bath at any ECV dorm? Does anyone know? Please let me know. Thanks
I'm a freshman at GSU with a 3.4 GPA and 33 credit hours. I wasn't initially planning on attending UGA after I got rejected. But recently in December my father passed and to honor his sacrifice and legacy I thought should go to the top school in Georgia like he wanted me to. What are the chances I get in though? I would be going for Journalism if that changes anything?
Also, is it hard to navigate UGA as a transfer student? I'm somewhat used to being an outlier given the whole black and gay thing but is there anything particularly difficult regarding academics, finding friends, etc for transfer students?
What does housing look like for transfer students? Should I be more focused on off-campus housing or trying to get a dorm room?
Any information would be appreciated and thank you for reading.
Those of y’all who signed up for ECV same hall, how’d it go?
Hi all! I just transferred here, and I'm looking for a group of girls to run with that aren't too serious or competitive. I'm mostly looking to make more friends with people around campus and have something to do that's not studying or working.
If there are any other groups that are active and laidback that would be helpful too! Thanks
About how long should i expect to wait for it? They said they would begin the process on January 3rd, just making sure I don’t need to email anyone. Does it usually take this long for some people?
