[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child got into UGA a few years ago.  Was the only one from their school.  High GPA.  Didn't send SAT scores because it was optional.  Most students are in state and most go home on weekends, unless they are in greek life, like to party a lot,  or it's a home football game.  She did not have a great time and ended up leaving.  Beautiful school and campus.  Just wasn't the right fit.  And shocking she has ended up in a "lesser" Virginia school and doing remarkably well haha[/quote]
Huh. My daughter is a freshman there, and that hasn't been her experience at all. She's not a big partier, and isn't in Greek life. But she's never bored on the weekends. We have visited twice and don't get "suitcase school" vibes at all.

But you did say it was a few years ago that your daughter went, and I understand the school has changed a lot in even just a few years.[/quote]

Same with mine. Comes home 3 times a year at breaks only. Never at a loss for things to do and lots of Georgia friends who are in town on the weekends. [/quote]

What is the right fit for some, isn't the right fit for others and that's okay.  When you are that far away from home you only want your child to love where they are.  When they don't it is heartbreaking.  It's not a knock on UGA, it's just to say it wasn't the right fit for that person's child.  They said it was a beautiful campus and school.  No need to get defensive as to why your child loves it.  Appreciate that not everyone does.  And maybe that has everything to do with the dorm and roommate and overall experience.  My child also transferred out of UGA and had the exact same experience.  It had everything to do with a poor roommate who had awful behavior and would lock my child out of their room overnight and RA did nothing.  And they were lonely, a lot of their classes were too big to really meet friends.  But this was their experience.  They are much happier at a college that is closer to home and not so big.  And that's okay.  We still root for UGA football and they still consider themselves a Dawg.  It just wasn't the right school.[/quote]
