Personal recommendation
This is a smaller university; everything you need to take is in one or two large buildings. I like that because you don't have to walk all over the place to get to your classes. It is a very good school. I recommend it to anyone who wants to come to Georgia.

Final comments
Apartments and the need for roommates are always coming available if you prefer not to stay in a dorm. The school is in Milledgeville, Georgia which is in the central area of Georgia. The culture is Southern and friendly. The school is small enough to meet new people but large enough to avoid people you don't want to see. Parking is not good for classes before 11am or sometimes 12pm. The campus is shady and the weather is pleasant. The campus security are actually police officers with the Milledgeville police. That makes it feel safer and usually there are a good bit of people around when evening classes get out. There are a few computer labs and the library has computers, all with internet access. Most labs are open until 11pm. The dorms also have internet connections but you need your own computer. The schedules are flexible; most classes meet Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Tuesday and Thursday. So you can go to classes only 3 or 2 days a week. That's nice. There are 24 hour grocery stores and superstores open within a mile or two from campus. The area around the campus has cafes, clubs, and shops. Macon is 30 minutes away and has a major shopping mall. Atlanta is about 2 hours away and Athens is about 1 hour and 30 minutes.

wings at loco'os, amici for a romantic dinner and capitol city for partying like hell. Events?, you'll find out in the university. It's a calm pace to live safe, and with a lot of things to do if you look for them.

At the begining it's pretty hard because amercians mumble most of the time, but once you get used to tha way they talk, everything is really easy, It took me about a month to understand them pretty well.
