Hey everyone (or hey y'all  )
I am looking at doing grad school at Georgia U and was wondering what impressions of Georgia Georgiaites (Georgians?  ) had? What is the cost of living like? The weather? How often do you all have meets? Thanks for your impressions.
I don't post much anymore but try to visit the board as often. There are a few old timers on the board who probably remember me....:D
As far as the University of GA, since its in my back yard I'll try to give you an unbiased opinion. I'm not sure where your from but you really have tons of resources at with in an hour driving time in literally all directions. The awesome mountains of Northeast GA, (plenty of CEG meets of the past), and Atlanta (also a couple of CEG meets thanks to mr. Perry Wolf) are a few places.
The university culture is kinda cool but has lots of places to party all hours of the day. Cool places to eat, (Mia Madonnas, Porterhouse steak house, Basil Press, etc...) and some relaxed, just as many to chill and have a beer with friends (or a soda if you choose).
The music scene is alright for a town that is "small"! The B-52's, REM and a few other artist have either played or started in Athens.
I could go on and on. If you would like to email me please do so and I'll fill you in as much as I know.
Until then,
Grady
