This. I currently live in Georgia (military) and we have pretty much prohibited our kids from going to school here. It's very insular, and most people believe the world stops at the state line. UGA is a great school, but socially, I would not want my kids there. Like someone else pointed out in an older thread, it's a great school if you're going to go straight back to Milledgeville and work at Daddy's insurance agency.

🙄 Friend’s UGA grad DS is at a Fortune 100 in LA and none of his friends are working in “Milledgeville”. Enough with the dumb stereotypes.

Ohhh, you know one person from Georgia. Sure, you know everything. Except maybe appropriate use of quotation marks.

Have you ever travelled beyond the mid Atlantic?

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.

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.

It’s that tiresome insane “POS” poster, again. Hey, lady,
I LOVE FLORIDA and I’M JEWISH AND MY KIDS GET IN-STATE TUITION at U of F practically FREE!

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.

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

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

Lol

South Carolina is super popular at my child’s MCPS school but a lot of students got deferred. Many students didn’t apply to UGA because test scores are required and the stats of accepted students OOS are high.

Doesn't seem worth it oos.

Tuition is free for in-state but high for OOS. Plus it seems like it'd be difficult to fit in socially. It'd make sense if there was decent merit and the kid was looking to work in Atlanta or thereabouts.

It’s not really that high for OOS. I mean it is compared to in state but it’s less than many OOS schools like Indiana, Penn State, South Carolina and others. So it depends what your choices are.

Aside from Florida, Georgia is the only SEC school that is worth it OOS. But Florida aside from being a top 30 is also a bargain even for OOS. Like Auburn and Tennessee are not worth it.

Depends on the major. Auburn has a stellar engineering school. UGA…not at all.

It’s ranked the same as UMD.

If you’ve got the stats to get into Georgia, you might as well just go to Georgia Tech.

Except many people don’t like the GT campus and safety issues. I agree it has top notch engineering. But, I know many Georgia students and families who have turned down GT for UGA. And I know a lot of Georgia kids who have turned down GT and UGA to go to Auburn for engineering because of its combined engineering program and great social climate.
