<p>i'm still waiting on other college decisions.
however, i'd still like to get to know you!</p>
<p>so
post whether or not you're going
and whatever else you'd like us to know</p>
<p>also:
is anyone visiting UGA after winter break?
i've never been before
what's athens like?</p>
<p>i feel kinda like a nerd right now.</p>
<p>UGA was the only place I applied and thus thats what I'll be attending.</p>
<p>Fromdistantstar - I probably will attend UGA and definitely will if I get into the honors program. Like you, im waiting on other schools. </p>
<p>Athens is a good college town. Its kind of in the middle of nowhere(about a 2.5 hour drive from atlanta). Most people love the campus and often comment how beautiful it is. Of course it can be a party town and a football town obviously, but there are plenty of different kinds of people at UGA and I think almost anyone can find their proper niche. If you have any specific questions feel free to ask or PM me. Vig would probably be a much better help than I am on the campus life.</p>
<p>i will either go to UGA or UNC</p>
<p>If Wild Child doesn't get into his ED school (he is a recruit), Georgia moves quite high on the list. He will visit after winter break. I thought Athens was only an hour from Atlanta. Is there a bus or something from Atlanta?</p>
<p>mom of wild child, you are correct - I was thinking of my house with traffic, haha. According to my sister who attends UGA to downtown atlanta its about 1.5 hours not 2.5.</p>
<p>mom of wild child: if there is a bus i dont think it would be very convienent to the school. I attended there along time ago and there was not a bus station anywhere near campus but of course that might not be true now.</p>
<p>I am most likely going to UGA, I applied to tech but i dont think i really want to go there.. and anything out of state is not worth the extra money.</p>
<p>There is a shuttle to and from the Atlanta airport that begins its route right on campus, but is very pricey and crowded. I recommend making friends with one of the many, many people from Atlanta or the suburbs. </p>
<p>Also, Athens is probably the best college town in the country. I'll get back with more later, but I'm in the middle of a ten page paper and have an exam at 8 AM tomorrow, so I'm just a little busy at the moment.</p>
<p>I'm just thinking about if my son goes to visit. If he flies to Atlanta, then what? He isn't old enough to rent a car, so he would have to take the bus.</p>
<p>Yeah, he'd probably have to take the shuttle then. Unless, that is, you found a flight into the Athens airport, but I think only US Air does that and it's kinda expensive. Being far away from the airport can be kinda frustrating, but it's a lot better than dealing with Atlanta area traffic 24/7.</p>
<p>I'm going! It's my first choice. I really hope that I get the foundation fellowship, but even without it, I'd definitely still go there.
I visited, and Athens is pretty much the perfect college town. I can't think of any reason why someone wouldn't like it. Cute shops, diverse food, great nightlife, and all within walking distance from the dorms.
(by the way, if any girl needs a roommate i need one. i'm a good one i promise.)
and fromdistancestar, i always feel like a nerd when i'm on here.</p>
<p>"i always feel like a nerd when i'm on here."</p>
<p>Same here. I'm probably attending UGA, too, since thats the only place I've applied to so far :). I might just apply out-of-state just to see if I can get in or w/e but I don't really want to go out of state. And now rejection from other places won't matter because I already got in to UGA, so that's good. I'm going to visit the campus after Christmas I think although my sister went there for a year (transferred out) and told me it's really nice. Plus, I hear they have one of the best gyms/sports clubs around. That'll keep me occupied while I avoid studying all year :p.</p>
