Thanks for bringing up this info, carnation. First I'd heard about it. Quite frankly, I don't like the idea of 5th year seniors registering after freshmen one little bit. And I also don't like the idea of UGA rushing people through the curriculum.
It took me 5 years to graduate, and it had nothing to do with liking the school so much that I wanted to stay. On the contrary, it had everything to do with the fact that the administration had courses set up so that it was practically impossible to finish all required classes in 4 years.
Some upper level classes were only offered during one quarter each year, which meant that once that class filled up you had to wait another whole year to get in. Many students were left twiddling their thumbs taking waste-of-time courses like underwater basketweaving while waiting for a spot to open up in their final one or two required classes. It was ridiculous and extremely frustrating for both the seniors and their parents who were footing the tuition bills. Unless school administrators change the course schedules, it's going to be very hard to "rush" students in and out of school within a four year period.
