I’ve lived in GA and OH. I’d happily move back to Ohio. Columbus is in my top two favorite places I’ve lived, and I’ve been all over the US.

Columbus is simply special. The city has so many wonderful areas: German Village, Short North, Italian Village, Victorian Village, the Arena District… they all have their own feel. And the university has a beauty and an energy I love, and I didn’t even attend OSU.

We visited Columbus for the first time last week and loved it. That said, if more kids want to follow the trend towards UGA, the better for my kid! Less competition!

If those two schools aren't yet on par with Michigan, Texas, UNC and Virginia then they are rapidly closing in.

+100 By the time the kid retires UGA will be seen as on par with Michigan and UVA and UGA grads will be lamenting how they couldn’t get in now, etc. Not sure the future demographic movement in the Midwest will support the same happening for Ohio State. The south is hot right now and UGA is seen as one of the top flagships.

First try to catch up with Ohio State before you can even begin to take on Texas, Let alone UVA and UNC. Michigan, along with UCB and UCLA, are tiers above UGA.

OP here. He'd consider coming back home to the DMV area but really, he'll go anywhere opportunity takes him with a preference of being within a reasonable drive or direct flight (ie from East of the Mississippi) to the DMV.

With a psych major, he is most likely headed to some kind of grad school after undergraduate and believes both the Georgia and Ohio State names will work in his favor. Thanks.

LOL that is not the way to look at grad school

Univ of GA no question

UGA isn’t even a member of the AAU! There are 61 members of this most prestigious organization. All of the Big Ten Schools, including OSU are members with the exception of Nebraska. Only Florida, Missouri, TAM, and Vanderbilt are in the SEC. Georgia has a long way to go.

Why would an undergraduate care? Seriously.

Like it or not people think of UGA more along with Texas, Michigan and catching UVA, UNC.

I’m talking about real life, not rankings. Try to keep up.

I have no dog in this fight but why do the UGA fans on here crap so much on Ohio?

“University of” sounds more prestigious than “State U”

Nobody cares about USNWR rankings anymore.

UGA!! So hard to get in. Amazing town people and academics. I have one there now who loves it and my other kid was just rejected. Cannot say enough things about it. Both of mine got into Ohio state. Weather better too and why choose cold and gloomy if you don't have to?

Consider the economy of the surrounding region. Atlanta and the Southeast is booming while most of Ohio’s major cities are losing population, industries, etc. that being said, one can live a good life in Ohio (affordable housing, good schools). You kid will be fine at either one.
