Pro tip, if you don’t like southern schools, don’t apply to Southern schools.

So do you think it’s a good school for a student from the DMV?

People in Georgia are lovely. Southern states in general are very gracious culturally, and surprisingly to the dc moms crowd, far less segregated and divided between races and classes than here in liberal DC and Northern Virginia.

College kids tend to be happiest when they are around other friendly young people. Their kid will find that in spades at any of the southern universities.

Stop being such a classist snob and visit the rest of the country. You will find that most Anericans outside your bubble are friendly, kind, generous and interesting.

I travel a lot domestically and internationally.
It's not about North or South. The same applies if it were for Maine. it's about geographical diversity.
My kid went out of VA for that reason.
Opting for OOS where 80% of the student body is local doesn't seem appealing at all.

Do you mean she is waiting to see which of those 3 she gets accepted? Check the school ratings difference between University of Florida and University of South Carolina. If she is OOS for all 3, I can’t ever see choosing South Carolina over Florida.

Sounds like this student chose UF.

It's great. most of the folks on here are bashing it because their kids didn't get in.

University of Georgia is fine for non-Deep South students. Most residents are from the Atlanta Metro area (population is about 6 million in metro Atlanta region). Lots of bright, hard-working, sophisticated students. If you join Greek social life, you will love UGa. If you are independent, you should also enjoy UGa. and Athens.

Of course, everything is relative to your son/daughter's other options.

Ignore this post OP

Absolutely unequivocally not true

I have lived in GA and this post is BS


University of GA is 80 percent instate either Bible thumpers uneducated and or urban GA meaning suburbs around Atlanta both still believe Jews have horns and KKK is normal. Were there outliars to this of course.

Paying OOS tuition to GA is stupid financially . Object of college to get a job after four years you want your kid working in Atlanta awesome maybe a job.

Grad school acceptances from UGA not awesome.

Look it’s the flagship GA school coming from instate sure OOS stupid

Southern people are not gracious unless you are lily white that is utter BS . I have lived in GA, SC, NC and Florida.

Moving forward after 2025 a university in the south will be worthless degree.

What a stupid, racist, snobby post from a troll clearly making up things to be controversial.

I am not taking any educational advice from someone who doesn’t know how to use punctuation.

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.

This is not the OP!

Everyone can see that it is not the OP.

It is one of the regular trolls that posts on this site trying to derail threads by starting fights on controversial things like race, religion and politics.

It is hard to understand finding mirth in picking online fights with strangers about things like that.

So you would rule out most of the Virginia and Maryland state schools?

It checks all the boxes for my kid. College town, friendly kids, sports, strong academics. There have been some reports that it’s hard to break into social aspects because many arriving freshman come with high school friends or know friends-of-friends. Being OOS is a legit concern, in my opinion, and not meant to insult the school whatsoever.

Just want to say congrats OP to your kid- UGA is a very tough admit, especially in the EA round

https://www.admissions.uga.edu/blog/2024-uga-overall-ea-admissions/

DS was deferred (we are also OOS) and hoping for good news in early March. It is a great school and Athens can't be beat. UGA is the only SEC school he was not accepted to EA and if UGA does not pan out, he will be at Auburn. My friend's son transferred into UGA as a sophomore (he was denied for freshman) and is thriving there.

Vandy and UF don’t have EA and are SEC schools.

Thanks! She is excited about the school. Good luck to your son- I’ve read that lots of deferred students are accepted in the spring.

If they have the Tolerance, Openness to Experience and Preference for Variety on which DMV kids pride themselves.
