[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The University of Georgia became quite competitive due to lottery funded scholarships for Georgia residents (Hope Scholarship & Zell Miller Scholarship) in addition to the Atlanta region's booming economy.[/quote]

Exactly. Don't get too obsessed. It is still UGA. Lots of drinking and not a ton of academics going on. [/quote]

This is not what I intended to convey by my post that you quoted.

The University of Georgia is outstanding for those who can get admitted into the Honors College (no longer just an Honors Program due to an additional $10 million in funding) or to the University Fellows. Highly academic setting for those groups. The rest of the university students are intelligent, but how they handle their college years is up to them.

The Atlanta area is full of wealth & the sons & daughters of sophisticated business persons. Every Fortune 500 company has some type of HQ in the Atlanta area--or at least did. Could be worldwide HQ, national HQ, or regional HQ.[/quote]

Are you under the impression that UGA is in "the Atlanta area"? It's not. And I used to live in Atlanta and am familiar with the state and city (and Athens, which is not in the Atlanta metro area). [/quote]

No, but it is just over an hour from the East side of Atlanta and about 1.5 hours from Cobb County Marietta in light traffic.

Over the past few decades, Atlanta has experienced tremendous growth. Driving to Athens is easy & not considered to be that far out of the sprawling Atlanta metro area.[/quote]
