^ agree. Reasonable distance from Atlanta 1 1/2 hr drive. There would be transportation available to the Atlanta airport. Easier to fly - than say Ole Miss. A lot of Georgia, especially Atlanta suburb kids go to Auburn if they wanted to go to University of Georgia but didn't get in - but this would be kids happy with southern heritage.

Definitely must love--or at least tolerate--football worship culture there. And it still has vestiges of the old South with the politics.

Have a child that's interested.
