<p>I know that when S, H and I drove through Athens, we stopped there for lunch and then decided to check out the university. The prevalence of obvious signs of the confederacy in the town and the campus caused us to walk just a few yards into the campus and then leave. The university and town gave us the creeps. UF and FSU and their environments felt very different.</p>
<p>Since Atlanta has several black colleges – including top ones like Morehouse and Spelman – and there also are other black colleges in Georgia, I imagine many black Georgians choose those colleges or a place like Emory, which is in a vibrant city, not out in the middle of nowhere like UGA.</p>
