The University of North Georgia (UNG) is a public university with multiple campuses in Georgia, United States. It is part of the University System of Georgia. The university was established on January 8, 2013, through a merger of North Georgia College & State University and Gainesville State College.

The numbers tell a mixed story here — at just $10,785/year net cost and a median debt of only $9,673 at graduation, this is one of the more affordable public university options in Georgia, and the multi-campus setup offers real flexibility. However, the 37% graduation rate is a serious concern and worth asking about directly, as it suggests a significant number of students either transfer out or don't finish — so if you choose UNG, go in with a clear plan and strong support system.
