Hi whittylin! I am getting my PhD in psychology at UGA, finishing up my second year right now. I don't know anyone in your program but I would say talk to older students, most of us live in the same complex or near each other since none of us are from Georgia. I don't know any students living in graduate family housing, I believe it's somehow more expensive than renting your own place and it isn't nearly as nice. It's very cheap (in my opinion) to live here, I have a two bedroom/two and a half bath two story townhouse in a gated community with a pool and only pay $800 a month! Whereas I believe grad student housing is dorm style and $900 a month? Hope that helps! I'd be glad to try to answer any other questions you have about Athens!

Hey, I'm currently a first year in I/O here at UGA. UGA does not extend acceptances at the same time. Each professor does it on their own time, and as of now there are still professors who plan to take a student and have not extended an offer to anyone yet, so just hang in there. NC State: I don't know officially because I'm obviously not there, but I did apply there last year. I didn't hear from them until April that I was on the "final wait list" to get in and I just replied to take me off because I had already accepted UGA's offer. It just depends on the school and even if someone is accepted to a program they can still reject it/haven't necessarily accepted it yet, so I would never assume rejection from a program unless you officially get news of that. Hope that helps!

Hey, I'm currently a first year in I/O at UGA. All of the professors here admit their students at their own time, so don't worry if you haven't heard anything. If I remember correctly I heard mid-february last year via phone call that I was accepted, and set up a visit the following weekend, which was when I immediately knew UGA was the school for me! Let me know if I can answer any of your questions about UGA!
