I would like to warn all prospective students considering UGA to cross this school off your lists IMMEDIATELY!
UGA may seem like an attractive option at first: free tuition via the HOPE scholarship for Georgia residents, a wildly popular football team, and great dining halls.
HOWEVER: There is one HUGE con that makes this school a very undesirable college choice: the campus police. UGA has one of the strictest stances on underage drinking in the nation. Athens-Clark County is one of the very poorest counties in the entire nation. Frequently arresting well-off college kids is one of the ways this place pumps money into the local economy.
Get caught underage drinking in Athens and you're AUTOMATICALLY cuffed and transported to the Clark-County jail (where you will be locked in a cell with a mix of scary thugs and terrified sorority girls.)
Because Athens knows that these arrested students mommies and daddies will do anything to try & keep them out of serious trouble, Athens offers an astronomically expensive "pre-trial" diversion program. Supposedly this looks better on your record than a regular conviction, but employers and grad schools can still find out about the arrest.
Because this expensive program wouldn't profit if a steady number of students wasn't arrested each night, UGA ENABLES THE PARTIERS BY DROPPING THEM OFF IN FRONT OF THE BARS LATE AT NIGHT VIA UGA BUS SERVICE. That's right. UGA's own buses stop to pick up loads of freshman in front of the freshman high rises and the deposits them downtown right in front of the hundreds of bars. It's just a trap waiting to happen.
This is why you should not attend UGA. Do NOT make UGA your college choice! You are better off at basically any other school in the world. Do not come here.
