Mine went to UGA/ Terry and had an internship in DC (along with many other UGA students living in DC for internships). Moved back to DC after grad for a job. Yes, many stay in Atl, but most of them are from  Georgia anyway. Terry students had internships all over the country. I would ht base choice on internships near the school.[/quote]

OP. Thank you for the input, very helpful! I agree that too much emphasis is placed on the geographic location of the school, students from Tulane aren't limited to NOLA any more than students from Duke are limited to Raleigh Durham or Vandy limited to Nashville. DC has never been to Georgia and I am only familiar with Atlanta just for occasional business trips and not for some time, so I'm really looking forward to visiting Athens. The real estate thing is kind of a "maybe" so probably we are comparing management majors at both. Thanks again for the helpful feedback![/quote]

PP.  I mainly asked about the geography because you made some remarks about Georgia that made it seem not very interesting to you.  But Atlanta is a very major corporate center.  More significant than New Orleans.

Schools tend to have more influence in a geographic area around themselves.  From what I've read on this board there seem to be a lot of ties between Tulane and DC.  But to be honest, I've not encountered them.  I guess I'm too much of a Northerner.  I do hear lots about Atlanta.   Northerners coming and going from there.   So I'm a bit skeptical.  Also Tulane seems insanely expensive.  I'm on a scholarship committee for the high school PTA and one of the only times I've heard about Tulane in my real life was one senior girl headed there. She had the highest amount of unmet financial need of any applicant for the scholarship that I'd seen in six years.  I assumed it was a family school because I saw no reason why to go into debt that much for the major she wanted.  [/quote]
