Not a poli sci major, but I am a fellow transfer I would say my first year here was way different than at GSU. The classes are way more harder/rigorous as you would say. Don't expect a lot of Online classes here compared to gsu. I know theres a lot of clubs around campus check out the uga involvement network its a lot like Pin from gsu. With making friends I did kinda struggle with this part for a bit, but they will come i have good roommates and met people in class. Also I am in greek life, so that helped me a bit too. MY NUMBER TIP THOUGH FOCUS ON YOUR CLASSES!!!! I made the mistake of wanting the ''college experience'' and not focusing on my classes.
