[QUOTE="Old South Stands, post: 661044, member: 1036"] A lot depends on where you come from. I grew up just outside of Brookhaven, a few stones' throws from the Atlanta city limits. There were still horse farms everywhere, and when you went on a trip to Perimeter Mall, you went over a two-lane bridge across 285 past a farm with cows. Across the street from the mall was another pasture with old chimneys still standing where houses had once been. That's the Atlanta I grew up in. The next decade saw a lot of growth. After attending Tech and living Downtown for 10 years, that cured me of ever wanting to live in a metropolis again. Atlanta has simply become unlivable, and you couldn't pay me to live there again. Moved to the South Carolina Lowcountry 20 years ago, and now it's become basically a smaller version of Atlanta with an ocean! There is definitely something to be said about living in a smaller town, and many people like that. Easier to concentrate, and fewer distractions. The urban environment is going to appeal to certain types of recruits, but not all. At least you don't have all the flying bullets around campus these days like you used to in the '80s and early '90s. Back then you took your life in your hands sometimes walking off campus! [/QUOTE]
