reviewsI have grown up here. It isn't the most glamourous and I will say UGA turned the town around. But Clarke county schools are horrible. Students do not excel and the teachers don't get paid enough to care about the students. The school systems could be way better.

reviewsI love the UGA campus and all the night life included downtown. UGA is a mix of a party school and a good school so best of both worlds.
