well, I guess I'll post a topic for the first time in like a year lol...I just had to get this off of my chest and I want you guys to feel my pain
so basically The University of Georgia and the whole white college experience **** ****...coming here has made me dislike white people SO much
1) I've been called nigg3r twice and colored on numerous occasions...and I can't count the number or stares I get from the stupid white hicks who go here thinking that this school is actually worth something...to be honest, after enrolling here, I don't consider UGA to be prestigious AT ALL...It's a joke
2) Black "student life" here is a joke...hell there really IS no black student life...ask most black people on campus where they usually are on a Saturday night and they'll say "In my dorm"...80% of the black people that go here are either athletes or only associate with white people...the rest of us are left in the dark trying to revive organizations such as the NAACP and Black Affairs Council on campus w/o much help from the administration or student body as a whole...the gatdamn Latinos get more funding than we do and there's only like 200 of them here...
3) There's no feeling of black unity or pride on this campus AT ALL...everyone is so divided and backstabbing...it's seriously mind-boggling to me...I mean, shouldn't we be MORE unified being that there's so little of us here? How dare you walk past your brother or sister without even acknowledging their presence?
4) White people act like I'm an alien when they see me in a study room with my laptop studying for HOURS (like I'm doing now) or when I sit in the front row of class answering every question correctly
MY ADVICE: DON'T ATTEND A PWC FOR UNDERGRAD...you'll regret it if it turns out to not be for you...don't let anyone tell you that you must attend a white college because "the world isn't all black"...trust me, a PWC isn't going to help develop your social skills anymore than an HBCU would...and I'm practically teaching myself everything here because we do EVERYTHING online due to the fact that our classes are so huge (400+ people???)...I wish I could turn back the hands of time and go to Howard like I'd planned....but dammit I WILL transfer if it kills me :x
i was actually looking into transfering to Uga..lol
ummmmm....NO. Brotha I can't let you do that to yourself. In all seriousness, don't give any of your money to this institution...If you're looking for a school in Georgia; look into Tech, Emory, or Morehouse....those schools are actually worth something outside of the southeastern United States...well, actually I take that back...if you're looking to study business, law, veterinary medicine, or journalism then UGA is great...but everything else is bullsh!t
well, an HBCU isn't necessarily a walk in the park...
but i can understand where you're coming from. Especially since you go to the university of GEORGIA.
GEORGIA. a.k.a. the south. a.k.a. (some) hick racist white people.
maybe your experience would have been different had you gone to a different PWC further north, like George Mason University in Virginia. Even though there aren't a ton of black people there, i grew up in the area, and i didn't experience any sort of blatant racism.
lol and how the HELL did I end up at a PWC...I was all on Howard's tip in high school...but that's fine because I'll be at Morehouse next fall :grin:
I was asking myself that very question this weekend as I browsed archives... transferring to the House? oh, that'll be fun. :twisted:
man, is it really that bad down yonder?

hell yea it is...none of what I said is an exaggeration...people keep telling me that I'll look back and realize that it "isn't that bad" but I highly doubt that...even the black upperclassmen tell me that it gets worse as the years go on...so I'm about to nip it in the bud ASAP
I agree with you UGAdawg10, I attend a white school now and I hate it. I'm trying to transfer to Spelman. But I haven't been called the N word or colored, and the black student body here is okay. But the school is just not for me, I'd rather be at a school closer to home or somewhere else. But I like having White and Asian friends, it's just I'd rather be, like I said, closer to home or whatever. So UGAdawg, are you transferring?
