University of Georgia Student Reviews
A preview of verified student reviews and source-attributed reviews about University of Georgia and its programs.
Most of their doctors are fresh graduates, young, and lack experience. And they don't have good dealings with the students. And even when we go to complain to the administration, the administration doesn't do anything for the doctor, and the doctor goes on more and more and becomes stronger against the students more and more, and even in some of them they have racism, they fail students for no reason. And more than once we complain about them, and the administration does nothing, the administration, on the contrary, strengthens them against us, and the administration doesn't listen to us or listen to our voice. The worst university you can see in the world, and other than that, they fail students for no reason, or they are setting up ambushes for students to fail them in any way to increase their university's economy. Because the system of their university is a commercial system, the most important thing for them is money, a hungry people or a hungry university in general, they want money only, but they are not coming to solve any administrative problems, nor do they care, I mean even the student The one who doesn't think about transfer thinks about transfer, why? Because in all cases, you will fail more than once with them when no one listens to you. So it is better for the person to go to a university that treats them better and their doctors are better than these doctors. At least the administration cooperates with the students.
