List at least five words that describe the UGA community.
Unique, legendary, diverse, classic, and full of opportunities

If I had to offer one piece of advice for incoming students about living and learning in the UGA community, it would be:
Make the most out of your time here; it’s an experience like no other.

How is diversity best expressed at UGA?
Diversity is expressed by the people you see every day at class. No two people are exactly alike, and that is what makes a truly diverse campus. Whether its race, religion, wealth, or even age, people at the university are open to the differences of others.

When and how do you encounter other cultures, perspectives, and beliefs at UGA?
I encounter these differences everyday at UGA. Even though I may not agree with another person’s beliefs or culture, I have learned to embrace these differences.
