<p>I am currently in my second semester at UGA but I haven't exactly been enjoying myself. If anyone has transferred from UGA to GSU or the other way around could you please tell me whether you think it was a good decision or not and which one you like better, pros and cons of each, etc.?
Yes I know UGA is probably seen as a bit of a more "prestigious" school but I'm willing to sacrifice some of that if it will help me be happy.
I just don't want to make a decision that I'll regret and end up somewhere I don't like for the next three years.
As for my major, I'm pretty much undecided so that doesn't really play a huge factor but as of right now my options are nursing and economics. </p>
<p>Why aren’t you happy exactly? I’m looking to transfer from State to UGA. State is basically Atlanta and it doesnt have much of a campus and in my opinion there isn’t much to do for college students</p>
<p>Well I’ve always liked cities more than suburbs, so I don’t think that would be much of a problem for me. I feel like there isn’t really as much to do in Athens as I thought there would be though. If you’re in a frat or sorority you’ll be fine, but I’m not and I’m not really a fan of greek life, and UGA is overrun with greeks. Or if you’re legal/have a fake, you can keep yourself occupied by going downtown all the time.
Another thing, I’ve found it difficult to get the classes I need because they get snatched up so fast, and UGA doesn’t up the available spaces or anything. My academic advisor wasn’t really helpful either. Overall I just haven’t enjoyed my experience here. </p>
<p>Is the lack of a campus the main thing you don’t like about State?</p>
<p>I am also considering of transferring from UGA. They don’t have a nursing program here so there really isn’t much uga can offer me. I plan to go to either Georgia State or Emory but hopefully Emory. I also don’t really like Athens either, not really my type of city.</p>
<p>Ya I find it harder to make friends here. I’m a big sports guy so UGA athletics really attract me. I’ll be legal next September. I also want to do debate and mock trial , which arent very big here at state. The girls are better looking at UGA as well ;)</p>
<p>Finally someone agrees with me haha, everyone is like don’t go to GSU, UGA is better!
I’m pretty sure I’m transferring though, Athens isn’t my kinda place either</p>
<p>I’m going to do everything I can to make friends so hopefully it works out, and I’m only 18 and not close to legal so Athens isn’t exactly crazy fun haha
I find a lot of the other girls at UGA to be snobby and arrogant but that’s just me, too many of the sorority girls here are just plain annoying</p>
