    This^^^ @Dawg My son graduated from UGA in 2011. Always a great student. Encountered real academic culture shock his first semester. UGA is TOUGH. It is not glorified high school. If you're smart enough to get in, you're smart enough to do well. But do NOT think you can just cruise through. Good luck to you

    My daughter will graduate in May. She's very smart and has always been a great student. She attended excellent magnet schools as a kid. Her SAT and ACT scores were great. She participated in demanding time consuming extracurriculars in high school.

    She works very hard to make good grades at Georgia because all of her peers in Athens are from the same background and have the smarts.

    I'm very proud of her success at the University of Georgia and of how hard she's worked. She knew going into it that she had to keep her Zell Miller to stay in Athens.

    Go, Dawgs!

    Congratulations @dawg ! Athens? Lemme put it this way. Half of my friends from the early ‘70s never left, mostly taking jobs at the school after graduating with BA/BS or taking a masters program or PhD. Amazing place to live as well as go to school. Have fun.

    Being accepted at UGA is an accomplishment particular being accepted into the freshman class.

    Congratulations.

    Go, Dawgs!

    Born and raised here. Don’t think I’ve ever had a bad experience. Nothing that couldn’t be handled anyway. Enjoy every day as if its your last. As for sports check them all out at least once. Men’s and women’s. I had no interest in hockey till UGA got a club team now I love it. So don’t limit yourself and remember when the games over the party begins.

    Congrats! I have a daughter (senior) and son (sophomore) at UGA. They cannot imagine themselves anywhere else. They love UGA and Athens; both are in the Greek system and have made great lifelong friends in their houses. They have lots of fun, but also work hard. Key is to find that balance of work hard and play hard. And get involved and stay ahead of ur work as others have said. Enjoy!

    Congrats! Welcome to the fam. I graduated in 2000. Best years of my life. Back then my favorite thing was downtown Athens. The food and the music scene.
