I do know that the University of Georgia and Valdosta
State will look at admitting area students displaced
by the hurricane.
UGA Contact # is 706-583-0570.
VSU Contact # is 229-333-5791.
Both are on case-by-case basis (i guess for available
space, classification, concentration?) but need to be
contacted ASAP (probably by Tuesday).
A lot of other schools are throwing their doors open
as well - I don't know where a comprehensive listing
might be available, though, but perhaps someone else
can find that (or compile it) and post it?
