<p>I have been accepted to these schools and i am having a hard time deciding between them. I live in atlanta and UGA is the natural choice with a very low cost. Is it worth many times the price at UGA to go to Vanderbilt or Georgetown or even twice as much to go to UNC?</p>
<p>Depends. What kind of atmosphere are you looking for? UGA and UNC are big state schools, with UNC being maybe more "upscale." UGA is SEC, through and through. Vandy is strong academically, with a hefty ose of Southern money thrown in. Georgetown is strong academically, with a hefty dose of Northeastern money thrown in, plus the whole international thing. Vandy and Gtown are much smaller size-wise.</p>
