r/UGA

Hi! I’m an incoming grad student moving back to GA from NYC and I’m trying to choose between GSU’s Moving Images MA or UGA’s Mass Media Studies MA. I attended UGA for undergrad and absolutely loved my experience there (graduated 2020), and I’ve taken a few classes at GSU during undergrad as well. Essentially I’m trying not to let my bias for UGA cloud my judgment when selecting grad school programs, but what most important to me is academic rigor, faculty/staff support and a diverse student body that’s equally as dedicated to the disciplinary craft. Would love to hear any thoughts on the programs/experiences from others!

Sorry if this is a stupid question but will bars be open tn for the 4th? ie tropical or wonderbar?

Many of my friends from GT and GSU are planning their schedules through Coursicle and DegreeWorks, which left me thinking if I should as well. If so, how do I do this through the Plan Ahead feature in Athena? Do I just look at the plans they already have for my major and build from there? Pls help 🥺🥺

Despite not making anymore money or having any different circumstances, the amount of money I pay for my tuition (including grants+scholarships) has went from 5k a year to 14k a year. I used to be able to fully cover my the 5k with subsidized federal loans, but now even with unsubsidized loans I have about 8k to pay. Also my My grant has also went from 5he full 7k pell grant to 5k. Im not sure why. I dont know what to do or what websites to look. Should I get more money from something like Sallie Mae? Do I need to see if I can take a gap semester to save money. Do I need to reach out to Financial Aid??

Hey all, transferring to uga for my 3rd Yr and I finally got the option to pick my room. Rn it's between a 2 Person room in Building 1516 or a 4 Person room in Oglethorpe House... I previously had a solo room at my old uni so not entirely sure what to expect either. (also don't think this is breaking the rules, as that seems to be relating to off camping housing and am not asking about roommates sublets or any of that?)

I'm an undergrad senior who's interested in touring the school's English grad program. I've called the English department directly a few times, but I go straight to voicemail. I've been told that the school doesn't really offer tours outside of general ones and that tours for grad programs aren't a thing you can just schedule through their website. Would I have to be already accepted into a grad program to go on a tour?

hello, can anyone recommend me super easy gen. ed. courses? does not need to specific, I just need 1-2 super easy courses that you guys took along the way so I can fulfill credits!! thanks!

Hi everyone, I am a rising freshman at UGA and I have been looking at my financial aid offer and I am the slightest bit worried about financing college. I have received ~ $7500 in external scholarships as well as the Pell Grant and HOPE Scholarship, but I still don’t think my family can afford to send me to school. If you guys can share any advice about finding more scholarships and/or getting more financial aid from the school, please let me know. I want to avoid taking out a loan completely, but also don’t want finances to completely deter me from pursuing higher education.

Title says it all, but I’m a fresh college grad who plans on spending another year or two in Athens before I leave. Looking for social spaces in Athens for people around 22-26 where we meet up every week or so, and ideally with some black representation as well. If there are any directories where I could search something like this up, or just flat-out recommendations, I would appreciate it a lot.

I'm a CS intended major. I heard that it might be hard to find a job after graduation (AI might be affected in the future). Any major suggestion that doesn't relate AI too much to it?

I will be attending UNG for my freshman year and they accepts my APUSH score of 3 which fulfill Hist 2111. However, UGA does not accept a 3 for apush. My UNG transcript gave me credits for Hist 2111. Will that credit transfer over or will i have to retake it at UGA?

Hey! Most of my first classes of the week in the Fall will be on North campus, and I’m an undergraduate commuter. so far my waitlist is W05 Hull Street, N02 Oconee Street, W17 Broad Street, E01 IM deck, and North deck (in that order). Thoughts? My first classes for Tues/Thurs/Fri start at 8am, and Mon/Wed around noon. I know priority for us is super low in basically everything, so I’m worried I won’t get a spot but I really don’t want to have to get a parking spot in East campus again (I put IM deck just out of caution since it would be better than nothing).

how is gen chem 1 lab? Does it last longer than 3 hours bc i have a class after it?

For people who have taken the class, how hard is it? Are exam questions things that make sense. Just trying to see how it compares to accounting 1

Also mods the thread for course questions is quite dead and no one responds in it anymore. People are asking questions but not getting responses
