The main thing I notice about the students at UGA is that that are very preppy and into the greek scene. Its hard to miss guys and girls sporting their Sorority or Fraternity letters on some type of apparel. I think the trends led from those type of people show up everywhere on campus as well. Ill notice certain things guys or girls wear and its so funny because everybody dresses the same. During the summer, girls wore tshirts, the new colorful nike tennis shoes, and nike running shorts. Guys wore the same nike shoes with high black socks, khaki shorts, and a plaid button down all the time. And now girls are wearing big tshirts/sweatshirts with scarves, black leggings, an cowboy boots. Its like a uniform! But other than the greek kids, its just usually the typical casual young adult clothing. Nothing too trendy or fancy. Accept there are a good bot of super trendy hipsters too.

Greeks Everywhere
I talked mostly about Greek students in my last answer, so yes greek is huge here. Its a little overwhelming if you aren't involved because that is the main way for people to get to know each other around here. And if you aren't greek, some people give you the stink eye. But there are still a lot of people not in it, so its easy to find people with the same interests as you.

Watch Out for the Popo's
The main area of strictness are the police. They are extremely strict in the downtown area. Over half of my friends have either had an encounter with the police or been arrested in Athens, so its definitely scary sometimes. Its frustrating as well because sometimes the punishments are way too severe, but then sometimes kids get off that should have been arrested.
But in the school setting, I guess Ive never really had to deal with certain rules so Id say the University itself is pretty laid back, but well organized.
