campus
by: Go dawgsI've always thought that the University of Georgia was a predominantly conservative school, being in the south and also the SEC conference. However I have heard many people say that it's a pretty liberal school. To those who are familiar with the university - what are your thoughts on this? What type of general atmosphere is it? I always thought it to be a more conservative school with lots of southerners, however I could be wrong. I have also heard that greek students make up much of the conservative students at the school. How true is this? Not trying to stir trouble or start arguements - just curious because I'm not too familiar with the campus, and I'd like to hear opinions of those who are.

UGA is the flagship university of Georgia with a student population of @ 35k. The political leanings of the students would to a great degree ( not always however ) depending on your major. Ie, business, engineering and probably Greek , more conservative ; journalism, psychology, history, english, etc., more liberal. Also, even though 85% or so of students are from Ga., mostly from the Atlanta area, 50% of those kids' parents are from the north. Hope this helps u better understand this wonderful school. THE IVEY LEAGUE OF THE SOUTH. GO DAWGS !!!!!!!!!!!

UGA is a large enough campus where u can find most political leanings. College is the best time in ur life to hear all sides so when u leave, your opinions are more developed and well thought out. Embrace different opinions because up til now u probably think the way ur parents did. Viva the difference.

#1 was right, there's only a limited number of "true" southerners. Simply being born in the south does not qualify one as being a southerner because that person probably lacks southern culture, which is passed down from your parents. But I would agree that even though a large majority of uga students parents' are from the north, they are (surprisingly) conservative. This demographic also sums up a lot of uga'a current greek life as well, with the exception of AGR. And note- I'm not necessarily saying that this is a good/ bad thing, but it is simply a fact
