Home » Student Life Student Life UGA Gwinnett Campus students are pioneers in many ways, part of a new educational experience offered by the nation’s oldest state-chartered public university. Many of our students are considered “non-traditional” – that is, slightly older than the student population at our main campus in Athens and often working either full-time or part-time while earning their degrees. That means they’re motivated, focused and goal-oriented, which makes for stimulating interactions in and out of the classroom. Check out the services and activities available to students.
