[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m from Atlanta. With good grades I wouldn’t settle for GA state and especially not from out of state. [b]Oglethorpe is a good school and has a beautiful campus, but it’s expensive so aid might factor in.[/b] Even though Athens (UGa) isn’t a big city like Atlanta, it’s a good college town if he wants a good school in the south.

Oglethorpe will match the cost of your flagship no matter what state you're from. Nice location in Buckhead. Much better than drab downtown Atlanta, where GSU is located. I'd pick it in a heartbeat.[/quote]

Wow, I had never heard of Oglethorpe somehow! I looked and yes, he'd qualify for that flagship match program. I am going to suggest it![/quote]

OP is your DS still a junior?  If so then for next year apply early to be considered for additional scholarship opportunities.

PS - Oglethorpe is adjacent to shopping and dining, it’s near the Marta and all the fun restaurants in Chamblee and Buford Highway.  I personally would prefer that for my OOS kid’s experience than downtown ATL.  [/quote]

Yes, a Junior. We are putting a list together now and he was adamant about Atlanta being on it. This sounds like a great compromise, I love the tuition part of course, and he'll be thrilled about the shopping/dining aspect![/quote]

My senior DS just competed in scholarship weekend last month.  It was a great event which offered programming, a chance to participate/compete in a college class led by a professor, some wining and dining, and a chance to meet other prospective students. If your son has high stats he’d most likely be invited and could win a substantial scholarship.

The campus is pretty, it’s fenced and has a gate they lock in the evening.  I was impressed with their attention to detail. They also seem to have good internship placements around Atlanta.  [/quote]
