Congrats. I was there in the early 90s & it's changed a lot but we had a blast. Beautiful campus & Brumby Beach was the highlight of every spring...eye candy galore. Back then living was cheap, beer was cheaper & the girls were.....well, fun to say the least. REM, WSP, Allgood, DMB, the music scene never let up. I had a final I couldn't miss one time & Pearl Jam was playing at legion field during one of their first big tours, that **** but I more than made up for it. All I can say is represent the Red & Black well & keep it classy when other teams come in, that's what separates us from fla. That & they just **** in general. Enjoy every minute because it goes by in the blink of an eye.
Go Dawgs!
Congratulations! I went to UGA from 2011-2015, and I really don’t have a single thing bad to say about it. Truthfully, I miss it almost every day. The weather on a fall Saturday, downtown Athens on a Friday night, the quiet beauty of campus during the first winter snow: those things stay with you forever.
Don’t take it for granted. Join clubs and go to events, because you can get lost in the grandness of it all otherwise. You inevitably end up making UGA feel much smaller than it is because of the friendships and activities you get involved with.
But for the love of God, don’t leave your alcohol or other “substances” out where an RA can see them. Wear shoes in the dorm showers. Learn to do your laundry and not take it home every two weeks (I did not heed that advice). Show up to class even if attendance isn’t mandatory.
Have fun and Go Dawgs!
The sundresses.
The lawn by Brumby was full on bikini action when the weather warmed up. Had many near crashes in my CRX rubberneckin' & the horn honk miraculously resulted in more than one date..
Congratulations! My time there was from 2005-2009 and I enjoyed every minute. It’s the first and last time you’re in an intensive learning environment. Take any classes that will interest you and choose a major you’ll enjoy. Take girls out on dates, join campus organizations and work hard. It’s the best 4 years of your life!
Here's a top 10 list:
I forgot to offer my congratulations as well. I know a lot of smart folks from good families who can't find their way in to UGA these days.
Congrats. Remember that you only get this opportunity once, take advantage of those 4 years not just by working hard, but by making some memories too ;)
I often said that if the Lord has mercy on me when I die I will go to Athens.
Like others said, be active. But hit the books with intensity too. From the get go. Aim to get ahead of your peers academically, be challenged as if your academic competition was Mullen and Gus.
Never schedule a Friday class if you can help it
4 years 80-84 here .... lot has changed but the great advise in the posts above show the important things never change ....
congrats and Go F..... Kin Dawgs ..!,,,
Wasn't ever smart enough to enroll...but best to you my fellow Dawg.
Keep your head on a swivel, the shorts and sundresses will certainly drive you insane
Study two hours for every hour in the classroom.
Everything else is easy if you do that.
Everyone else is at least as smart as you are. The super geniuses with photographic memories don't have to study, but you're not one of them.
Go, Dawgs!
Congrats! Good luck at the greatest (and oldest) public university our country has to offer.
Go Dawgs!!
