[quote=Anonymous][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]

The “suitcase school” claim is just odd. Athens is always in the lists of “best college towns.” [/quote]

Not a claim, it was the experience my child had when they were there.  Pretty much everyone around them was from Georgia and they went home on weekends.  It's also a very tough school if you are not a big drinker.  Downtown Athens is a "best college town" because they don't check ID's and you can drink when you're 18.  No one cares about fake ID's.  And most kids in college want to drink.  And if you don't believe me then join the UGA parent's facebook page and you will see posts from parents with information on where to get your child's fake ID.  [/quote]
