I go to southern also...At first its boring as hell but after a semester or so you won't want to leave. And yes there is a car/bike scene, bigboosting. I've only been to one meet but everyone is cool.

Oh, and the campus is beautiful. I'd venture to say one of the nicest college campus's in GA. They put alot of $$$ into it. I'm in the chemistry building right now actually. Just dont drink yourslef to death and drop out (common down here).
