Average Rating
UWG is a very nice small school that is usually best as a starting point for more in-depth careers, such as environmental engineering or art. The only problem that I have found is that the school is trying too hard to seem like the college to attend, and it's advertising campaign is a bit embarrassing. The teachers are usually really cool, though, but do make sure to ask others who have taken them before about their teaching style.

UWG is a lively and fun atmosphere that blends academics, athletics, fine arts, and fun into one atmosphere. It is the perfect size; you can walk to class, but bump into someone new every day. It is definitely the perfect school for someone looking for a median of an urban and rural environment.
