…also consider distance. Michigan is in the same time zone as GA and is a days drive away and a competitiv air fare flight from home. Academics are pretty much a wash however the Michigan degree has a bit more pull in the east, if that is where you decide to live. Furthermore, Michigan is a campus and school that IS Ann Arbor. You will be living in a town that lives and breathes the university. Everything you’d need is within a fairly short distance, including the football stadium. IMHO, Michigan is the quintessential collegiate experience.
