Tips to Succeed
- Always dispute bad grades-you may even be given a second chance.
- Do your own homework.
- Don't ever fall behind in reading.
- Don't waste your time trying to study in the dorms. Head to the library or the SLC.
- Go out on the weekend. Go to shows, plays, concerts, games, protests, anything you might not get a chance to do again.
- Go to class -- on time!
- Go to class!
- Make use of all the facilities at Ramsey. You won't get equipment like this for free anywhere else.
- Research potential professors before choosing your classes- some are much easier than others who are teaching the same courses.
- Take a freshman seminar. Subjects range from comic books to film noir to conspiracy theories.
- Take fun electives; there's a lot of unique classes available.
- Use Internet resources to determine the best class for you. Go to www.ratemyprofessor.com to get the lowdown from past students. Also, UGA's SGA operates ugakey.com, which provides grade distributions for each teacher and each course.
Did You Know?
UGA is rated to be more selective in accepting applications than many state schools because there is such a high turnover rate in converting those accepted into those that actually enroll.
