UF has tons of online classes. Like Covid but not. Strange especially in Florida. |
UGA over UF if warm is a preference. |
Wants a college town, large rah rah school with a lot going on. Wants a school that is somewhat selective. Prefers weather there to some other schools. |
I think the online classes mainly affects the business classes. However, most of these classes still provide the option to attend in person. It's just that there is a space issue. A lot of kids seem to like the benefit of being able to re-watch the lectures. From what I understand, the situation is not as bad as it seems - many students are okay with it once they experience it. |
UF is a huge college town with lots of school spirit. People get incredibly emotional about their school. Gator nation is almost like a culture in and of itself. |
Same w Wisconsin UGA etc. they all are kind of cult-like |
Where is selectivity in the us news formula? |
DP - but people follow the rankings (especially those living in the DC area). So the better the rankings, the more people apply - making the school more selective. |
Not sure that many people care. Those that do should learn what’s in the formula. |
She didn’t consider UF. |
Did she find that Athens is a better college town than Madison? |
Yes. She preferred Athens. Madison is larger and she didn’t like that the capitol was right near campus. She doesn’t love cities and it had a more urban feel. |
Does UGA offer merit like Alabama? |
I don't think they are nearly as generous with merit aid for out of state students. |
No. They do but it’s very limited and the amount is much smaller than Alabama. It’s a much harder school to get into so I assume they don’t need to offer much. |
