University of West Georgia

==Student life==
Students have access to 150 [[student organization]]s covering academics, cultural/international, departmental/educational, professional and honor groups, politics, science, religion, service, recreation and sports, health center, and social [[fraternities]] and [[sororities]]. In order to be a part of a fraternity or sorority, one must have a certain GPA, as well as above freshman classification.

Wolves Don't Waste (WDW) is a student organization founded around increasing awareness of food insecurity. Students coordinate with campus dining to decrease the amount of food wasted or thrown away through food recovery, and make food available to faculty, staff, students, and community members in need.

UWG's marching band consists of over 100 members and is known for its high energy and athleticism.  Each performance finishes with the band playing and dancing to the hit tune "Long Train Runnin'".  The Jazz Percussion Group has also performed throughout Europe and the United States as well as jazz festivals and state conferences. The JPG has brought numerous honors to the university since its beginning in 2003.

The [[pedestrian]] [[campus]] also includes a [[library]] with 561,900 volumes, a gym with an eighth-mile indoor running track, [[computer lab]]s, [[tennis court]]s, [[baseball]] fields, [[soccer]] fields, a nature trail, a quarter-mile (400 m) [[running]] track, two climbing walls, and [[basketball]] courts.

The university once operated a [[non-commercial educational|noncommercial]] [[radio station]], [[WUWG (FM)|WUWG]], at 90.7 [[Megahertz|MHz]]. It had been on the air since 1973 as WWGC until 2001, serving all of [[Carrollton, Georgia|Carrollton]] and [[Carroll County, Georgia|Carroll County]], as well as the [[student body]] of the university. Originally a diverse [[college radio]] station, it is now a listener-supported [[public radio]] [[Network affiliate|affiliate]] of [[Georgia Public Broadcasting]], [[simulcast]]ing the GPB [[radio network]] most of the time.

In the Fall of 2009, the Mass Communications department soft-launched The WOLF Internet Radio. The station officially debuted in April 2010, after two months of limited programming from its studio in the basement of the Anthropology Building. The station's motto is "For students by students." Two grants from the Technology Fee Committee, totaling about $72,600, kick-started the station.

===Greek Village===
Acting as a small community within the larger UWG community, the Greek Village features 18 houses ranging in size. These houses are complete with a living and or chapter room, kitchen, laundry facilities, a mix of single and double bedrooms, and semi-private bathrooms. Also included within the village are outdoor green spaces, adequate parking, and a commons building. Greek Village has also recently added a pavilion, a basketball court, a volleyball court, and a fireplace with grills for everyone's use.

The effort to create such a facility allows for the university to not only expand its housing offerings but also attract new students to UWG, making it more of a destination university. Additionally, within the Greek system at UWG, there are three different governing councils: Panhellenic, Interfraternity, and National Pan-Hellenic. In creating the Greek Village, it became possible for these different groups to share a space together for the first time.
