University of Georgia

I am considering attending either Vanderbilt University or the University of Georgia. Neither of these schools is beyond driving distance from home, and they are both well-known and respected universities. Both schools are somewhat challenging to be accepted to, but UGA accepts more people than Vanderbilt. UGA is in Athens, Georgia, while Vandy is in Nashville, Tennessee. I want to learn more about the cost of attendance and scholarships available to me, the criteria for acceptance, and the environment

In September of 2013, my sister passed away, leaving our family with more questions than answers and challenges that parallel with heartbreak. As a freshman trying to find my way at the University of Georgia, it seemed that I was going backwards compared to my peers and my grieving put more of a strain on my will to continue my studies. Pursuing any actions for bettering myself or my counterparts tended to feel overwhelming. Feelings of loneliness engulfed my state of mind, but what was most unbearable

Schools boards and admission offices would intentionally stall in reading or deciding on applications sent in by people of color. In the case of Horace Ward at the University of Georgia, it took over two months before the admissions board even began to look at his application, and once they picked it up the school decided it needed to create a “special committee” that would interview Ward to decide on his capability. He was

A united university through sports is often a rarity. College football can be one of the most intense experience in college sports. The passion and energy is nearly impossible to encapsulate into a single feeling. Sports teams and their fans share a bond that cannot be recon with. The colleges with prestigious athletic backgrounds have a numerous alumni who carry pride into every game day. A lot of fans equal a lot of fun, but attending an school with diehard fans is best part of college sports

As a freshman at the University of Georgia, I was only four hours from home, and constantly being challenged by homesickness, better education and a lack of understanding of who I was and who I wanted to be. This change of pace blindsided me and moved me to enter an area of complacency. I could not stay in this place for long due to the sudden passing of my sister. She was an intelligent, humble thirty-three-year-old diabetic single mother with three children and an incredible story to share. While

person’s values are severely challenged as he enters college. A major university has many evil faces that can alter a person’s values if he or she is not careful. Fraternities and their counterpart, sororities, target freshmen mainly because they’re young, easily influenced, and lonesome. Religious organizations try their best to counter the fraternities by gathering these young scholars to spread their word. The University of Georgia itself causes turmoil in these students' beliefs by requiring classes

My experience at the arch makes me wonder if the University of Georgia purposefully put up a plaque honoring Confederate students and teachers beside the first black student’s hall. There are many other amazing professors that have gone through the UGA system before 1991, so was this a direct jab at the Hunter and Holmes Hall? Honestly, I do not believe this invalidates anybody’s rights. Ultimately, this just makes people uncomfortable to remember such a dark time in American history. It does not

The issue at hand, at The University of West Georgia (UWG), is the government putting an attendance policy in place. Many people believe that if people do not show up to class, they will most likely fail the class anyway. With this theory, it would not matter if they came or did not come, they would not do good in the class unless they were extremely gifted. The other side of this debate is that there should be a policy set in place that enforces the attendance and fails the student after missing

University of Georgia SAQ "The college admissions process can create anxiety. In an attempt to make it less stressful, please tell us an interesting or amusing story about yourself that you have not already shared in your application." My heart pounded as my feet gradually left the safety of the grounds and began its ascent on a ladder that rattled on every step. Sweat formed in the palms of my hands while my gaze remained transfixed to the ground. In my mind’s eye, I envisioned myself landing with

During the Steps 2 College program provided by the University of North Georgia, Gainesville Campus, my Education 2120 class and I were to provide 20 hours of observational field experience in the classroom. From the many course options provided for the program, I choose to spend my time in the Environmental Science course which was located in the Nesbitt building in room 1213. The classroom setting was a darker than normal classroom, but was formatted auditorium style, with all seats facing the
