I wouldn’t put Intellectual and UGA in the same sentence…..

Yawn. You seem miserable. UGA kids balance academic success with social success and go on to be highly successful. Guess what? The social cues they learn at UGA are just as important, if not more important. Nobody wants to hire human drones that never learned to live a little.

This is not how I approached college (or would want my kids to), but an increasingly higher percentage of parents see an undergraduate education as purely transactional rather than a formative experience.

UGA has strong students across all disciplines. They mostly tend to be very friendly, attractive and outgoing. They love the Bulldogs. If you’re looking for a boring, transactional experience, UGA probably isn’t right for you.

That was my only point. I'd pick UGA, but for lots of people GT is the better choice.

Not quite. UGA is better for every major except engineering and most kids would prefer UGA’s social experience. So really, GT is only better for engineers and nerds.

UGA is ranked better than “intellectual” places like Wisconsin.

You are way underestimating the number of engineers and nerds in this world.

I wouldn't consider it an overall intellectual school, but there are certainly intellectual types there.

Also offers majors/programs one would never find at an SLAC- risk management and interior design to name a couple. For many, it’s the complete package academically and socially.

socially, yes, but not enough academically for my STEM kid.

Bullshit. However, this type of attitude wouldn’t fit in at UGA. Good riddance

Ummm. Their Engineering program alone is ranked #111. That's awful.

They can go to GT. Engineering doesn’t really feel upper crust like Athens and UGA.

Because you're a moron who knows nothing about the school?

Friend's kid graduated from the honor's college, then on to Harvard Law, Law Review, and graduated top of his class there. Guess he's the only smart one ever to graduate from UGA.

Dude...It's not only engineering. Tech is the number 9 ranked public institution overall by US. News and a Public Ivy by Forbes. UGA ain't got that smoke.

Dude…nobody cares about your silly little rankings. Plus nobody would want to go to college in Atlanta if they were honest about it.

lol. You can't say anything so now rankings are silly. Can't make it up. BTW, nobody wants to go to college at Tech? Here is another stat for you buddy, Georgia Tech received 67,000 applications this cycle (offered only 8,500). UGA received only 47,000.
