It’s a highly desired OOS school with 25% acceptance rate OOS. |
I’m OP and I didn’t write that. We did know before she applied but she has her own opinions and preferences and wanted to apply anyway. |
you are an idiot. |
I am not taking any educational advice from someone who doesn’t know how to use punctuation. |
Honestly, with this attitude, I wouldn’t go. How small minded are you? You seem very sheltered. If you’re a child is anything like you they’ll probably stick out and not in a good way. |
Your child |
You are really quite rude. I don’t think the University of Georgia will be a fit for your child. I hope your child got into schools that are more suitable for your attitude. But from the looks of it, if Georgia is the best school your child has, I can see why you’re in a panic. |
Well, you certainly don't sound appealing. |
This is not the OP! |
+1 That is the prolific insane LWNJ troll. Lots of word salad posts, zero knowledge of spelling or grammar, and utterly wacko opinions. Engage with her at your peril. |

Georgia obsession with UGA and football and frats is real. I haven't seen the level of backwardness - at all - that some PPs are insinuating. If your kid is OOS they are going to have to break into a group. Groups are already going to be formed by virtue of friends starting college together, or sports teams or eventually Greek life. So your kid probably should have some idea up front about how they expect to fit in. Honors college, an interest group, some kind of sport or frat/sorority would be good places to start. |
I think sending your child to UGA to avoid groupthink like the above will be worth it. |

I will never understand why people like this allow their sons and daughters to apply to southern schools and complain that it’s a southern school. We know that ya’ll apply to our southern schools because they are highly ranked (Georgia is a top 50), the weather is terrific, and tuition is way below what you would pay in the northeast or in California.
Pro tip, if you don’t like southern schools, don’t apply to Southern schools. |
+1 - stop moving here too. |
