Is it just me or is being a transfer at uga so difficult. I came from out of state so i literally dont know anyone here, and i feel like nobody will talk to me.

I joined a few clubs here and there but people still have their people they know whether is be from sorority or whatever else. Im trying my best but i still have yet to find anyone to hangout w outside of clubs and classes. Let alone at the upcoming football games…..its gonna be me myself and I there.

Anyone else going through the same thing?

just wondering if it's possible to work a 3rd shift/overnight job while going to school in person. i work a hotel 3rd shift job and love it so much, it's the best bc barely anyone comes in but considering i get off at 7 am and classes are usually in the morning, im guessing it makes it harder to complete ur degree while having this type of schedule.

i'm supposedly going to be a FACS major so im just wondering how this can balance out, bc ive seen some of the syllabi on the bulletin and they show only class times in the morning :/ but idk if that's the final schedule. thank you!

I've been trying to do my research, but I can't seem to find out any separate information regarding out-of-state UGA transfers.

Any out of state transfers who see this; just wondering what your stats were, and anyone who might have any information regarding things like acceptance rates or odds for an out of state transfer would be most appreciated

Today I lost my Kirby keychain that I’ve had for a very long time. It might sound silly but he means so much to me and I was heartbroken when I saw he wasn’t on my backpack when I got to class. Kirby was last seen on a crowded campus housing bus at 9:30am August 31st. If anyone finds him please dm me with a picture I am offering $15 for his return.

I came back to my car with some scratches and dents but no note. I contacted campus police about it but should I contact TPS as well?

Hi, I’m currently a transfer and all my friends who were at UGA already graduated and I have no one to go to the game with. Anyone else in the same boat? I have some social anxiety about it 😔💔

I have been on the same laptop for 5+ years, and it’s unable to handle the programs I need to run for school. I desperately need a new one with good specs but I really can’t afford to shell out top dollar money rn. I haven’t seen anything crazy though a normal Google search for generic student deals. Any advice?

(But if you know of any really good generic student deals for higher-end laptops I may have overlooked I’m also open to that!)

Hey y'all!

We are currently taking applications for the University of Georgia Student Library Advisory Board! The Student Library Advisory Board (SLAB) is an opportunity to represent your peers and communicate the needs of the student body to the UGA Libraries. Your feedback and ideas help us make intentional decisions that meet the needs of our campus. Examples of successful student advocacy for library resources includes the implementation of the Stall Street Journal many years ago, as well as our new complimentary access to the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Our SLAB members last year have also successfully pushed for a midterm evening breakfast in the MLC around midterms, which will be hitting our calendars soon! We welcome all students to apply to SLAB - from undergraduates to graduates, freshmen to seniors, and frequent library users to those who have never stepped foot in our buildings!

Applications close September 8th. Apply here today: UGA Libraries SLAB Application 2026-27 | QuestionPro Survey

Any other good ways to make money on game days for someone who doesn't watch?

Hey so I want to go to the gym in Ramsey every day since I'm always at Lamar Dodd for my classes, but most of the time I have to carry around my portfolio bag and idk where to put it when I do hit the gym.

I already have a hallway locker at Dodd and I know how the temporary ones work at Ramsey but I dont have a secure space big enough for the portfolio bag.

I was wondering if I could just leave my bags in one of my classrooms but idk if they lock the doors to the rooms after classes, or if thats an unreasonable thing to ask of my professors?

I'm coming from downtown btw, and I usually need to take everything home with me every day.

For instance, I am going to go to georgia southern, graduate with a bachelors degree in biology and hopefully be able to get into either Emory Medical School or University of Georgia Medical school. (I’m not in Georgia southern yet I’m simply planning my future because I tend to overthink and just want to have this mapped out in my head.) What are side gigs/jobs I can have after I move from Georgia southern and hopefully into University of Georgia that will help me afford tuition, housing, payments in Athens Georgia? (sorry if this seems chaotic I’m a very chaotic person if you couldn’t tell.)

i'm hoping to transfer in next fall as a junior and live off campus and it just popped into my head: how are people affording to live off campus and go to class? does everyone have rich parents?

i'm moving on my own from my family's house and they don't have a single cent to give or support me with as they are broke af. i've been working since 16 for myself and i don't mind finding a job off campus as well but im just wondering if people have jobs at UGA and have to work for their ownselves as well or if that's not really the case with everyone else. i struggle with anxiety and comparison issues and feel like im the "odd one out" all of the time. i've never even been on campus to class, just online, so i feel like it's going to hit me all at once i guess

Can anyone share their notes on the cast of characters and their relationship with first amendment cases? After looking at the exam guide, I realized my notes are not thorough enough.

Hello fellow Dawgs! It is your signature Bus Nerd person here. I wanna make sure students know about a NEW route that will take place on all non-football Saturdays and all Sundays: Weekender East!

This route serves MANY off campus apartments off of South Milledge and Riverbend, and connects to Joe Frank and ECV on the westbound edge and Vet Med and the Barnett Shoals Shopping Center on the Eastbound edge. Apartments will be stopped at on both east and west bound directions.

The current schedule for this bus route is 10am to 6pm on Saturdays and 12pm to 6pm on Sundays. If the bus will help you, be sure to use it.

Please use https://routes.uga.edu to track this bus via Passio GO.

I'm a freshman at UGA trying to find some help cleaning my ps5 and can't go 45 minutes away to my usual computer specialist.

Is there anyone at UGA or in the athens area that could clean my ps5? I recently bought a preowned one from a buyer that was NOT the cleanest. It has bugs, and I don't feel comfortable cleaning it myself.

Does anyone have any recommendations for cleaners or can clean it? I can pay!

I’m 22F in one of the professional programs here at UGA. I did undergrad in an urban environment and ngl I’m having trouble adjusting here. I’m not really made for this college town environment lol. Are there student orgs or ways I can connect with other graduate students besides the ones within my program? Ty!

I’m taking CSCI 1301 this semester, and I know the midterm + final together are 50% of the grade, so I wanted to get an idea of what the exams are usually like and how I should study.

Do they mainly test you on reading/understanding code and figuring out what a program will do, or is there more emphasis on knowing the coding language/concepts from the textbook? And are the exams mostly multiple choice, open response, or a mix of both?

Would appreciate hearing from anyone who’s taken CSCI 1301 at UGA!

It is time for my yearly PSA about being a good pedestrian. I know many of you are from bigger cities or smaller towns, so let me tell you a few things.

1)ALWAYS wait for the crosswalk light. And even when you get the "Walk" signal, LOOK! Do not trust that 18 year olds in their oversized trucks are going to stop, make sure!

2)Be alert. There's nothing wrong with wearing headphones, but you need to be able to hear what's going on around you too. If you can't listen to quiet music and pay attention at the same time, you should opt for just paying attention. Keep your eyes up!

3)Always walk on the sidewalk, but if you have to walk on a road with no sidewalk, you should WALK ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD FACING TRAFFIC. (wheels in the right lane, feet in the left) You should be facing oncoming threats so you can move out of the way, not walking on the right where cars can creep up on you.

4)There are times when you need to cross without a crosswalk. Don't be an idiot, wait and be courteous and go at the best possible time, there is always a break in traffic.

I think that covers some basics, stay hydrated! Enjoy your school year!

So I have the full season package but I realized I can’t go to next week’s game. A friend of mine, however, really wants to go and I want to send them mine but I know it’s not as easy to do that anymore. Does anyone know of a way I can send it to them?

hi, i'm thinking of transferring into FACS for either financial planning, housing or fcs education. i don't really know what i wanna do :/ just wanted to see people's experiences in this!

I don't know what it is with the Baldwin and Sanford intersection, but I've witnessed more than once (way too many times) people crossing even when the pedestrian signal is RED - not just "oh, the countdown ended a few seconds earlier", but full-on "IMMA START CROSSING CAUSE I SEE NO CARS EVEN THOUGH THE SIGNAL IS SITLL RED."

Traffic controls exist for a reason. If you're so arsed about being on time in your own schedule, then you might have to work on time management. It's not okay to impede the flow of traffic, vehicular or pedestrian or otherwise. There's a safety component of course, but there's also etiquette. For a car/bus driver, when their light turns green, they expect the intersection to already be clear - but that is frequently not the case as of late. If you were driving said car, you'd want the same as well. Think outside your own shoes. Please.
