Lots of sophisticated students from the Atlanta Metro area. If the UGA Honors College was ranked separately as an LAC, it would probably be ranked among the top 2 or 3 LACs.
Seriously? How did you even type those words together.
If you slice the bottom 90% from any college, it would rank higher.....
Yes, seriously.
You misunderstand. Honors Colleges are separated in many respects from the rest of a university so it is not the same as just evaluating the top 10% of students at any college or university.

Why?
UW-M is much higher ranked in USNWR, Niche, etc and also sends many more graduates to Econ PhD programs which suggests a stronger department.
Cite? Percentage would be more important than the total.
Jesus, do your own damn googling, it's very easy.

The Honors College is outstanding. Many turn down Ivies for free education at UGA Honors College / Foundation Fellows.
Athens is a great college town, but is now a bit crowded.

DS graduated last year. Had a great time. But he liked the big school / football / party town vibe. He has a job now, so it’s a win.
