    Life as a Cadet Video Transcript

    The University of North Georgia, a Senior Military College, where you will find
    opportunities for a great education
    that are complimented with state of the art facilities
    As a cadet, you will
    live in an ultra-modern residence hall
    study in a cutting-edge library and media center
    workout and modern fully equipped
    fitness and rec center
    learn military science and history from army officers and NCOs
    eat in a new dining facility that has everything!
    Don't miss--
    the beautiful North Georgia mountains!
    Every cadet begins their day with some physical training
    on the historic Lipp Livesey Drill Field
    PT is a great way to begin the day and routine for those pursuing
    a military path.
    From here-- it's to the showers before your first class.
    you'll be living in modern housing that is designed to accommodate 4 cadets
    per suite.
    Each suite has 2 rooms that share a private bathroom
    It is also reassuring to have 3 levels of ID access into this room.
    All common areas provide for a little down time with ping-pong, Foosball,
    billiards, and flat-screen TVs.
    there's even a dedicated home theater equipped with a 60-inch LCD TV
    to watch a movie or play video games.
    Free laundry facilities, a fully-equipped kitchen, and a dedicated computer lab
    complete a great living arrangement.
    I'm meeting my research team here at the library to work on an assignment
    this library provides students with all the resources necessary to be
    successful with any project. There is literally a computer and wireless internet access
    anywhere you might find yourself in this building.
    There is even an Apple-dedicated computer lab.
    Having extensive books, videos, and periodical collections
    at your fingertips
    is extremely helpful. My research team is here, in one of the many group-study rooms equipped with
    smart boards.
    With the coffee I've picked up from Java City--I'm ready to go.
    As a future army officer, I want to stay in good shape,
    so I spend a lot of time here at the rec center.
    This awesome facility is filled with all North Georgia students
    and is filled with 2 full floors of exercise equipment--
    free weights,
    weight machines,
    treadmills, ellipticals, bikes--just about anything you need for a good workout.
    Aerobic training groups and classes are available, too.
    Despite the competitive nature, there are three full-sized open access basketball and
    volleyball courts encircled by an indoor track.
    Locker rooms and showers are available
    so you can change and go straight to your next class.
    On the edge of campus and almost right in the square of Dahlonega is the Chestatee Building
    This is where the university bookstore is located, along with other important
    administrative departments, such as graduate, undergraduate, and cadet admissions.
    Besides a lot of cool North Georgia merchandise,
    the university bookstore carries everything a cadet needs to maintain proper dress code
    and purchase other optional equipment. A Starbucks Coffee and a 60 ft. video wall
    make this a popular social spot where friends often come to study, relax,
    or just hang out.
    To become an army officer, you will spend much of your time here, at the Military Leadership
    Center
    where you will take military science courses.
    This is also the place where the cadet brigade commander and his staff are located.
    Did you know that with your meal plan you can get access to this all-you-can eat dining facility
    that serves almost any type of food you can think of?
    Breakfast, lunch, and dinner--you can get great food here anytime.
    Process serving locations means fast service, even during peak times.
    Two floors of dining options assures that you can also find a place to sit.
    There's even an outdoor plaza for dining on the sunny days.
    Another great perk here at North Georgia is the fact that our campus is located
    practically on the square of Dahlonega.
    Why is this so great?
    Because you will find that many people here love and support this university and its activities.
    North Georgia is part of a rich heritage here in Dahlonega, and we are all a part
    of this community.
    Dahlonega is also a popular tourist town, so there are lots of great shops
    and restaurants.
    I like the great outdoors,
    so for me, I couldn't be in a better place.
    I can go biking, camping,
    fishing,
    kayaking, and even hike the Appalachian Trail
    --and all within minutes of campus!
    Visit North Georgia,
    and see for yourself the outstanding value offered to anyone who wants to put
    their career on a path towards success!
