University of Georgia Reviews

"The University of Georgia will definitely be one of the best decisions you'll make. From Saturdays between The Hedges to Athens downtown nightlife to the terrific academics, there is so much to experience. And you'll love every bit of it."

"Excellent community and academic institution with a lot of history and unique programs. Lovely campus with support for a wide range of interests and thriving extracurricular activities. I loved my undergraduate and graduate career."

"UGA has a beautiful campus and is seated next to the town of Athens, where you can always find something to do. The staff / faculty of UGA is very friendly and supportive."

"Good community atmosphere, particularly during football season. Small town, but very UGA oriented. Psychology department was quite large; therefore, it may be difficult for psych majors to stand out among their peers. Additionally, there were probably many opportunities for psych majors (e.g., internships), but information was not always clearly conveyed."

"Overall, this program is well-balanced and well-supported. I feel that both faculty and students are invested and motivated in furthering knowledge and awareness in the field of public administration."

"Huge school where many times I felt like a number, rather than a student. But now after being out for a few years, I liked going to a big school because I felt that I was part of something big and I'm proud of that."

"This program is one of the best programs that the University of Georgia has to offer!"

"Having completed my undergraduate at UGA as well, I knew I was in good hands enrolling in the graduate school. The first year experience has been a whirlwind, but I look back and see how far I have come in a short 10 months. The faculty and programs have exposed me to a wide breadth of knowledge while challenging me to tackle scientific problems on my own. The competitiveness in program really pushes me to strive for success and the peer and faculty support has helped me become a better person and researcher!"

"I am looking forward to beginning my graduate journey at the University of Georgia. I love the cohort model that my program creates. The group effort will allow our class to encourage and support each other through any challenges we may face during our time in the program, and create a network for future use. The program is ranked second in the nation, the faculty members are fabulous, and the program will fully prepare me for a career in school counseling."

"This program is great for anyone looking for knowledge in diversity. The faculty is great at helping with anything you need. If they don't know they will go out of their way to find out for you. However, many of the graduate programs are a cohort model. some may like this and benefit from it. In addition, you find out after you are in the program unexpected extra expenses."

"Pros include dedicated professors, a campus close to home, convenient night-time classes. Cons include lack of social events and public transportation."

"I am a fairly new student to the Science Education program at UGA but so far I have had a very pleasant experience. I have awesome professors who are recognized as authorities in the field of Science Education and I am looking forward to completing my PhD at an outstanding university."

"My graduate program is a stellar, top-ranked one. I receive immense support from faculty on personal and academic endeavors. The program fosters academic competitiveness but everyone is friendly, and we frequently have social events. The workload is stressful but doable. I have loved every minute of my time here."

"Pursuing a graduate degree in Industrial Organizational Psychology can be challenging and equally rewarding. A con for the program would be work-life balance, but I imagine this is true for any graduate degree. The pro would be everything else. The network of peers, the material covered, the innovative methods used to teach, and the potential this field offers makes this program the best graduate degree. Not to mention, the only one of its kind."

"Great college with lots of great instructors. The proffessors seem to care about your success a great deal. The campus is very nice. It was a much icer college than I expected. The business school is one of the best in the country."

"Excellent graduate school for Kinesiology. There was a large emphasis in research and great mentor-ship from the professors in the department."

"Great professional networking opportunities through my department welcoming for interdisciplinary research. Also, I fee up-to-date with current affairs related to my program of study, which I feel is very important"

"The University of Georgia's psychology program (particularly the Behavior and Brain Sciences Program) is extremely integrative - which is what I love. I can work with a number of other labs, and even different departments to collaborate on research. Students in the department are smart, but it is a cohesive environment with a nice balance of support, and academic challenges. There are many undergraduates, which has the potential to be a problem, but there are many eager students looking to help in graduate labs!"

"The Major Professors are very helpful and the quality of individual apprentice-style training from them is very good. The Psychology Department itself is in a bit of a transition period and has room for improvement in the way it's run."

"Great program. Small enough so we have a lot of one-on-one time with faculty. We also have the ability to be an instructor of record 2 or 3 times!"
