University of Georgia Parking had a new discussion posted by natz419

I am a student from NJ who is enrolling in UGA for Spring 2014, I was wondering if it is really necessary to bring a car freshman year? How easy is it to get the nearest mall/supermarket etc...?

There are city buses, but it is somewhat of a hassle to carry all of your things on the bus if you are planning on buying a lot.

University of Georgia Greek Life had a new discussion posted by natz419

Is it possible to have social life without being part of a sorority? I'm considering rushing but am sort of worried about hazing and such issues associated with greek life.

First off, hazing is a criminal offense in Georgia. Though different groups may still have "initiation rituals," it can not be classified as hazing. Secondly, it is very possible to have a social life without being part of a sorority. If it wasn't, the majority of the college students I know wouldn't have a life at all. :)

You can definitely have a social life if you're not in a sorority. There are tons of ways to get involved on campus and meet new people. Don't worry at all!

yes! you can have a social life even if you chose not to go Greek! and don't be worried! go through recruitment and see if its for you! it's a once in a lifetime experience! and with hazing, Georgia has a strict zero-tolerance policy! if you happen to find yourself being hazed, just walk away. however, i can assure you that if a sorority wants you to join their sisterhood, they will not haze a potential sister.

Do you think UGA would be a hard transition for someone from the north? By that I mean is it a big culture shock?

While I do not attend that school, I go there weekly for business meetings. I mostly see people that are white and African american. The culture in that area is very lively. They have a lot of activities for anyone that may enjoy college life. In my personal opinion UGA is a party school. I hope that this helped

It also all depends on where in the north you are from.

Im from NJ just outside NYC if that makes a difference

How hard is it to transfer in? Im looking into the college of communications

I have many friends that have transferred into that college and it is competitive, nothing is easy. However, as long as you have a decent application, I am sure you will do fine.

Not hard. As long as you have a 3+ gpa, the admission is likely. Get letters of rec for increased chances.

even for out of staters?

University of Connecticut Academics had a new discussion posted by natz419

How hard are the courses at Uconn? I've been admitted to the school of business and I am specifically interested in Calc and Economics, but any other course info would be appreciated!

It's as hard as you make it. If you put in the time, you will see the benefits. My prior econ TA (econ grad student) told me that the intro econ courses average gpa is like a 2.5 lol

Has anyone actually been denied yet? hate to be a downer but I am trying to figure out if they are withholding the denials until the March 1st notification date.

Most people who were denied probably won't come on this school's page anymore...

Do you know anyone who has already received their acceptance?

I hope not. I have not been notified of acceptance or denial yet.

I just found out that I got waitlisted.

How did you find that out?

It asked me if I wanted to join the waitlist on the mystatus page.

Hmmm. Mine still says the same thing. Let me know when your decision is made!

I still dont have anything... I'm so anxious though as UT is my top choice.

a lot of people got accepted tonight but I haven't heard of anyone getting denied:(

I got accepted to nursing this morning around 10, although I have friends who were rejected this morning

I was rejected this morning. I was only accepted into their CAP Program.
