UGA students score free AJC access

No more paywalls—every UGA student now gets full digital access to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution! Thanks to student advocates Ella Colker and Anna Reyzelman, who listened to campus feedback and worked with UGA Libraries and the AJC, this brand-new subscription was created from scratch just for UGA. With the AJC going fully digital in 2026, this move ensures students stay connected to local news and issues that matter. How do you think this will impact campus conversations and student engagement? Let’s hear your thoughts! #Education #College #UGA

UGA’s new football ticket rules spark debate

UGA students are fired up over a new football ticket policy that’s changing the game day experience. Now, you have to show your student ID at every home game, and if your ticket doesn’t match your name, you’re out—plus the original ticket holder loses their whole season package. Many students feel this move makes it harder to enjoy games with friends and could push ticket exchanges underground. Some even think the university should focus on bigger campus issues instead. What do you think—does this policy help or hurt the Dawgs’ spirit? #Sports #Football #UGA

UGA dorm mold: What students are facing now

Mold is still a real issue in UGA dorms, and it’s hitting home for students moving in this semester. Freshmen in Creswell Hall are noticing yellow stains on ceilings and musty, mildewy corners in shared bathrooms. It’s not just about gross smells—mold can trigger allergies and asthma, even for those who don’t usually have problems. UGA says they’ll respond quickly if students report mold, but many feel it’s just part of living in the oldest dorms. Have you or someone you know dealt with this? What’s the best way to keep dorms healthy for everyone? #Education #UGA #CollegeLife

How UGA fans are scoring sold-out tickets

Scoring tickets to a sold-out UGA game doesn’t have to mean paying sky-high prices. Many fans are skipping the big resale sites and joining private Facebook groups like The Real Georgia Bulldog – UGA Tickets, where sellers are verified and deals are made peer-to-peer. The group’s grown fast, and members say they’re avoiding extra fees while building connections with other Dawgs fans. There’s a $20 annual fee and a verification process, but folks say it’s safer and more personal than the big platforms. Anyone here tried these groups or have tips for snagging tickets? #Sports #UGA #GeorgiaFootball

UGA fans get good news on injury front

Georgia’s season opener against Marshall comes with a sigh of relief for Bulldog fans—only one player, backup lineman Malachi Toliver, is confirmed out. Coach Kirby Smart expects Toliver back soon, and the rest of the injury list looks promising: star punter Brett Thorson might return, and transfer running back Josh McCray is likely to play after missing camp with illness. With the team nearly at full strength, the Dawgs are set to kick off their SEC title defense with confidence. How do you feel about Georgia’s chances this season with such a healthy roster? #Sports #Football #UGA

The real CEOs of UGA sorority life

Behind every sorority house at UGA, there’s a powerhouse woman running the show. House directors like Ms. June Johnson do it all—managing budgets, overseeing repairs, curating menus, and even offering a little motherly advice. These women are the unsung heroes, keeping everything running smoothly year-round, even when students are away. Their work goes far beyond the “house mom” stereotype—they’re the operational backbone, handling emergencies and making sure every detail is perfect for the sisters. Have you ever thought about who really keeps campus life ticking? Let’s give these women the recognition they deserve! #Business #UGA #SororityLife

UGA tightens dorm security for game days

UGA students will notice stricter dorm security starting this football season. To keep everyone safe during home games, housing staff will be checking student IDs at all residence halls, and only students and their guests can enter. Expect more staff around dorms, 24-hour desk coverage, and extra patrols all weekend. These changes come after past incidents involving non-residents causing trouble, including a serious altercation last year. UGA is urging everyone to lock doors, keep IDs handy, and report anything suspicious. How do you feel about these new measures—are they reassuring or too much? #Sports #Football #UGA
