<p>Hello. I was wondering if anyone has an opinion on the better session to attend - Scholar Initium session or a New Dawg Info session. We are in N. California so can only attend one, and the best date for us to attend is probably a New Dawg Info Session. We haven't been on an official tour of the campus yet (just a quick drive by).</p>
<p>Any thoughts on what might be the better tour for an out of state student trying to get the best picture of UGA would be much appreciated!</p>
<p>Sorry for the late reply. My son says to pick the Scholar Initium. You get to shadow a student for half a day while your parents attend meetings. <a href=“https://www.admissions.uga.edu/article/scholar-initium-agenda.html[/url]”>https://www.admissions.uga.edu/article/scholar-initium-agenda.html</a></p>
<p>Thank you, helpfulandtrying. We did sign up for the Scholar Initium on 1/31. I’ll be sure to write up a report when we get back. Can’t wait!</p>
<p>Do you have any advice for what would be most beneficial for a student who would not be attending with a parent? Would the Scholar Initium still be the best choice even if I wasn’t able to get all of the information that parents would hear in the meetings?</p>
<p>We attended the Scholar Initium session, and I think it is fine to attend without a parent. In fact, the students go on their own tour of the campus with a current UGA student, eat lunch with them, go to class, etc. I sat through the parent portion of the event - it was only about 1.5 hours, and was a lot of the info you can get from the website. I also attended the parent-only campus tour because I had not done that before. The parents might sit around for a long time waiting for the students to finish their events.</p>
