Today we took to Twitter to see what’s the most “ratchet” school in Georgia. The responses got crazy but here are the results!
1. Fort Valley State University
This school is in the middle of nowhere and there’s nothing to do BUT party. So if you like getting drunk, this is the place for you! The main club in Fort Valley used to be a church! Also, it’s the only place in Georgia that holds a Dollar General Superstore. Anybody going here will tell you the same. Don’t believe FVSU is ratchet? This is video is called, “Flash Foolin’.
UPDATE: The user of this video deleted it. 🙁
Fort Valley itself is ratchet. what makes the school exempt?

2. Georgia Southern University
If you’ve attended or visited Georgia Southern, there’s no argument here. If you need concrete proof, just follow @GSUProblems or @OnlyAtSouthern for your daily fix of GSU’s debauchery. Want to see the most ratchet thing seen a Georgia Southern? Click here it’s too X-Rated for us to post here. We literally could go on for days!
Someone’s wifi at Georgia Southern
3. Savannah State University
One question, have you ever been to Orange Crush? Usually, constructed by SSU students, it’s a large beach party for colleges near by. Based off of the pictures that surfaced on Twitter the past couple of years, you can’t tell this is an event for the rat cheese.
4. Georgia State University
A lot of our Twitter followers say Georgia State is ratchet simply because they accept any and everybody. But everyone knows how they acted on the snowpocalypse in Atlanta at the beginning of this year.
@GAFollowers ga state bc doing the nae nae in class is how to say “here” when the professor takes role — Rishi Bagga (@OG_Rishbags) August 10, 2014
Did anybody else see the man jumping into the dance? Haha
5. Albany State University
Albany State is only known for a few things, Rick Ross, the ‘Family Matters’ actress and the “Ratchet Anthem” it’s self.

well of course, everyone loves to get rich but not everyone would love to do hard work;;
Hi there, beautiful site with great informational content. This is a really interesting and informative post.
You come across incredibly compelling. I wonder if I could ask a question?
So we just gone overlook the fact that ALL schools have their “ratchet” moments. Not to mention that SOME of this stuff isn’t ratchet. GSU is considered ratchet because they like to dance or is it because the dance was made by black people. I swear y’all still got slave mentality lol. What’s wrong with dancing outside of class? And ASU is far from ratchet don’t do my hometown ! Haha. But both examples are JOKES , Emmanuel Hudson is very educated, he’s just a comedian. And the car…. It’s called irony people, jeez.
Some of you guys are so damn sensitive. Would you be happier if the list was comprised of all white schools? He clearly stated that he took a poll on twitter and these schools were the most mentioned and that’s why they made the list. These were the opinions of his twitter followers, NOT his personal views. No one is saying that hbcu’s can’t produce smart, well educated, successful individuals. However certain schools just have a more “ratchet” environment. Calm tf down it’s not that serious.
There’s no way that Georgia State is more ratchet than Albany, Valdosta, or Clark Atlanta.
Dartmouth, whiter than white, is what the movie ‘Animal House’ was based on. Ivy League school. Kids are going to be idiots when they go to school. I think this because I know I was.
Say what you want about GSU (State, the REAL GSU), but I got that CIS degree, and found work within 4 months of graduation. I will say, the two girls on the Panther shuttle was kinda funny. The ratchetosity of GSU has increased exponentially in the past few years, but it’s definitely not top 5 worthy. Anyway, follow me on vine: Prince Tai (I do the Maya Angelou voice lol)
I’m shocked to see GSU on this list. I life Georgia State University.. I would have sworn Atlanta Metropolitan State College will be on this list. AMC isn’t a joke and thank goodness I was so quick to egg the hell up out of there.. All schools have their mess including Yale, John Hopkins, Emory etc..like I always say” it doesn’t matter where I graduated from as a Doctor; at the end of the day, we are all putting on a white lab coat 😀
clayton state should take ga state place!
Somebody hating now. I dont think Georgia Southern Ratchett. You have Paine in Aug GA
Georgia State isn’t ratchet, especially not compared to unmentioned schools such as Valdosta State.
You just took our schools and made them less valuable by putting each school on this list. Black people are already degraded by other people and you took 3 seconds out of your life to make this list, which is essentially pathetic. Of course a few people will get a kick out of this list, but what about the corporate Americans who will search these “nowhere schools” and find your list. They’ll essentially categorize every student at the school. You failed to see the lifetime effect of this post. As a black person who is suppose to uplift one another, you failed to do the right thing in posting this list. You not only disrespected yourself in making this list, but disrespected the entire HBCU community.
This post is strictly by opinion it’s not at all scholarly. Ratchet (in this context) isn’t even a real word. Although this is a pretty ignorant post, don’t get your panties in a bundle people. It’s not real.
it is a real word because it carrier a cultural definition
*carries
Wow, the author of this article called his own school, Georgia State University, ratchet, saying that they let anyone and everyone in. I guess it must be true, since they let him into college.
I go to GSU (southern not state!!!) EAGLE NATION! This is pretty funny! Southern can get pretty ratchet! lmbo
I am at s lost for words. Mr. Jones, I strongly suggest you do your research before you slander Fort Valley State University, or any HBCU for that matter in such a negative way based upon your own personal opinion you developed from spending a day in Fort Valley GA. I also suggest that you present a few facts as to why FVSU should be listed as the number one “ ratchet” school in the state of GA besides the fact that students party there and it’s a small city. Last time I checked, it was a Caucasian student on the Mercer Bears basketball team from Mercer University who did the “nae-nae” dance on National television. Last time I checked Davin Bellamy of UGA’s football team was arrested for a D.U.I just last month. Last time I checked, it was a UGA student accused of raping another student just last year after leaving a party. Now I’m not mentioning the actions of these young men for the purpose of degrading their schools, I’m trying to prove the point that a majority of college students party, yet that does not make their schools any more ratchet then the next. Now here are a few facts about some of the distinguished alumni I know of that attended FVSU. Lonnie Bartley, the head of the women’s basketball team with the most wins in America is a Fort Valley State University alumni. Last time I checked the first black judge to ever be appointed on a bench in the state of GA was a Fort Valley Alumni by the name of Austin Walden. The first black superintendent of schools in Alabama is also an FVSU alumni (Ulysses Byas) and Tyrone Poole, also an FVSU alumni was the first round pick for the Carolina Panthers and he won two Superbowl rings with the Patriots. And the list of distinguished FVSU graduates goes on and on. And yes Fort Valley is a small school located in the middle of nowhere but that’s because it’s supposed to be. It’s the only black “land-grant” school in the state of GA and it focuses on agriculture, science, and engineering. It’s supposed to be located near farm land. Waiting on your facts now Mr. Jones, proving to me how ratchet my beloved HBCU is. Until your facts are received, myself and my classmates will continue to encourage other black youth to attend any of the HBCU’s within the state of GA and will praise and uplift them when they do.
You can have the fame if it means degrading institutions of higher learning and discouraging young adults from attending college. Not about to call you any names because it won’t solve anything but just know that your opinion (joke or not) is now viral and this “blog” has offended many people. I’m sure you did this for attention and congratulations on achieving that goal. Instead of assisting with fixing the problem, you became a part of the problem by encouraging ignorant gossip. Each and every institution has its flaws as well as strengths. Let’s encourage and uplift…not degrade for a few likes and laughs. Joke or not, I’m sure you have offended many students and alumni.
True! I am a Ga. Southern Graduate and I am offended! College is not about just bullshiting and partying. Where did the person who wrote this article graduate from? Probably an online University and has no idea of a true college experience, so I suggest for them to go get some!
You’ve just made yourself look like a compete idiot. There are enough people willing to degrade HBCUs and you’ve paved yourself with them. I’m embarrassed at this foolishness not just for my own school but for all the schools you’ve listed.
You can’t be serious. This is one of the WORST blog, if you will that I’ve read. Where exactly did you attend school Sir? Or did you? Maybe that’s why you felt the need to spew this BS! Hummmmmmmm….. So you ONLY selected HBCU’s to be in this horred article??? Really??? Have several _/ _/ _/ ‘s Sir and PLEASE check yourself. -_-
According to your post, you believe that HBCU’s and colleges with majority Black students are ratchet. Obviously that picture, in regard to ASU,is a joke.
This website is BIAS! If you want to tell anything you should talk about something positive. Like for instance how good our education department is or how many students our biology department help get into medical school this year. If you are not attending The Fort Valley State or have recieved a degree from my institution keep your opinions to yourself. Talk what you know, and not what you heard.
Hey bestie!!!
Pretty sure all schools have ratchet behavior from Harvard to Devry
Thanks…well said
Just a FYI… Orange Crush is not thrown by Savannah State University PERIOD!!!! You might want to check your sources before you post incorrect things. The locals in Savannah host Orange Crush. SSU gets wrapped up in it because it’s a bunch of blacks being ignorant and Tybee Island is not far from the campus.
Let me correct you since I grew up in Savannah, GA. Orange Crush was run (at one time) and started by Savannah State University. It was an SSU event and put on by the school through student programs. There used to be a whole week of activities around the campus and the city during Orange Crush, but in 1993, while hosting their Tybee Island Beach event, a shooting took place which left one man dead. After that the city of Savannah came down hard on SSU and they scrapped the event that following year. For a while, Orange Crush just didn’t happen, but students met up and partied during/around the dates of Orange Crush in an Unofficially orange crush way. Now, because want for it and because it brings in money to the city and to control the crowds that started showing up and partying and claiming themselves as “Orange Crush Official” events when they weren’t. The city puts on Orange Crush. So currently, Orange Crush is a Savannah, GA run event, but it was originally a Savannah State College (University) event…. why in the hell else do you think it’s called “orange” crush… <_< learn before you speak..
Vienna, GA has a Dollar General superstore too. You niggas don’t know anything. But the AUC as a WHOLE is ratchet, how did they get forgotten lol
This a digusting thing to say about these schools; and given the amount of people already happy and willing to devalue the usefulness of HBCUs, I thought I would be hard pressed to find a group like yours who supposedly seeks to unify HBCUs publish such useless trash.
Haha #3, I sure as Hell thought it’d be number 1. I wouldn’t say that the university itself is Ratchet but more so some of the people that attend are. Same goes for the other schools on the list. A lot of people that I know have gone on to be successful from there including myself. I love my HBCU SSU!!!
How in the world did the AUC escape this list?!?!? Since when did the Nae Nae during a break from classes make an entire university ratchet??!
I’ll wait
I agree . I go to State and this is just crazy . How did VALDOSTA escape the list?
You all are too sensitive. Jeez
It’s hard not to be a little sensitive when most things that you see in any type of media perpetuates this negative behavior and there’s hardly anything positive out there. It would be nice if someone uplifting if you have a platform.
Wow, I’m upset to see that the HBCU I attend is number one for being a ratchet school in Georgia. There are pros and cons to every school and for someone who seems to have a bit of black in them to make a post about ratchet schools in Georgia, obviously doesn’t have much of a life. What you should be doing is uplifting people to go to a HBCU, but yet you are stating that The FVSU is ratchet. There are many successful people who graduated from The Fort Valley State University. What you should’ve said on twitter is how many successful black people come from HBCUs? Yet, you post something so useless about colleges of Georgia. I’m just saying. ✌ and I’m gone.
So let’s over look at the positive, let’s over look that FVSU graduates exceptional candidates who actually prosper in the field of their choice. Let’s over look that HBCU’s get ENOUGH negative attention from races who see african Americans as low classes, uneducated citizens. But what saddens me is that whoever put together this post took 3% of what actually goes on at these universities and categorized them. If your going to judge, then judge accurately! I am not biased because I am a gratuate from Fort Valley. BUT I AM OFFENDED BECAUSE THE ACTIONS FROM A FEW CLASSMATES DOES NOT DEFINE AN ENTIRE UNIVERSITY. Look at any school and there are always pros and cons.
Fort Valley Suck Tho
Stfu no one said anything about an HBCU. I’m black as hell and I’m so sick of black people with that damn HBCU BS. to hell with them and all of their financial aid issues and forever about to loose their accreditation assess. Act like an HBCU is the only place black people can go. We can go anywhere we want to. We’re not required to encourage our children to go there just because they’re black. The possibilities are endless….not limited to an HBCU b/c you’re black.
Sam, you STFU. You talk about those other colleges with their endless possibilities…the only thing you are to them is a paycheck and a quota spot to be filled. They don’t care about you, only the revenue you can bring in. Before segregation ended your ass could have only gone to a black college. In fact your grandparents probably could only go to one. When the doors at these PWI institutions opened, they didn’t want blacks there: http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/articles/arts-culture/charlayne-hunter-gault-b-1942 http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/articles/history-archaeology/mary-frances-early-b-1936 Things haven’t changed much with the “IAMHARVARD” campaign making that perfectly clear racism is alive and well. HBCUs continue to help motivate and prepare men and women for the future.
I love when people who go to HBCU’s bash on PWIs claiming all students there are just another paycheck. What do you think you are to HBCU’s? The same damn thing, Savannah State sure as hell doesn’t care about their students hence why a good portion are always dropped from classes and unable to use their meal plans for owing only $200 after the second week of school or the fact that every year they accept way too many freshman and make other students house at Armstrong, hotels, and sometimes even Georgia Southern. Get off of your soap box.
you’re sick of yourself as well…oh poignant delivery.
So you saying they aren’t endless at a black school? You know, if we loved and supported our community then we would ALL be successful as if we all came from an HBCU. But instead there are people looking for opportunities or advantages at white colleges to one up there brothers and sisters…. That’s that mentality
It’s not that deep lol
It’s not that deep, you’re right. However, I stated my opinion just like he did. U stated your opinion as well, so Yup!!!
Fort Valley Ratchet lIke a mugg though !! Keep it real. Both schools I went to on the list. But also on the top 20 party schools in the country. Stop whining youngin
And on top of that , 2 of the ratchet schools ain’t even HBCU schools. And everybody knows G State is not the easy to get into. Easy to transfer but errybody got turned down from G State. .. Bit I ain’t having a anxiety attack over it …
My school has it’s ups and downs. Never once did I agree/disagree about that. I stated my opinion on my school just like u all did. So…yea
shut up. You know your school is ratchet. Thats why your so offended.
You’re not your…what school do you attend?
Girl what school did YOU attend? It’s your not you’re . He said you know your (possessive) school is ratchet , he is correct. You however said “you’re (meaning ‘you are’) school is ratchet”
….. Really not helping your case lol
We should be encouraging people to go to college, not feeding into the stereotypes. I expect better from GA Followers. Please take this post down.
This make you wanna go to college.. kinda miss it again..might drive by that mugg when I get off work
This article sucks
A ratchet is a tool.
Dont forget about Middle Georgia College
