With 26,142 students enrolled in the fall of 2009, the University of Georgia in Athens is 20th on Newsweek’s list of most desirable large schools. The public school also ranks on the list best for athletes, at No. 24, thanks to its membership in the Southeastern Conference and status as an NCAA Division 1 school.
Tuition for the 2009–2010 school year was $18,000 for Georgia residents and $36,210 for out-of-state students. The most recent data available showed 91 percent of students at the University of Georgia received aid toward tuition in the 2007–2008 school year.
At 58 percent, women make up the majority of the student body. Eighty-two percent of the student population identify as Caucasian, 7 percent as Asian-American, 7 percent as African-American and 2 percent as Hispanic.
