I'd imagine UGA students to be more conservative because they are mostly white and from the northern Atlanta suburbs, which are very red.

College kids rebel against their parents values.
ALso, govt/school employees who depend on public funding tend to vote Democrat.

Many years ago, I taught for three years in an overwhelmingly white affluent Texas suburb that was very conservative. I have kept in touch with many of my former students. They are now around 30 years old and are, with only three exceptions that I can think of right now, essentially communist in their outlook and at odds with the politics of the families that raised them. Thus the case of Athens is not a surprise to me.

I lived in Johns Creek for a little bit. Everyone I know that went to UGA is red. I think a lot of the blue is the large amount of northern transplants there. USC is the only college I've been to with as many northeastern transplants as UGA.
