[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 260312, member: 1191"] Campbell's older brother is playing at GT, but I get your point. Here is the thing. I live in the Augusta area. GT has a stigma as a "smart kids" or "nerd" school, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. But while you can tout the night life of the downtown area around it, you can't deny that classmates at GT will be VASTLY different than what you would find at U of xxxx. These things are important to some kids. I know, for instance, at least 5 kids (non-athletes) who turned down GT in order to go to bigger schools with "better atmosphere." Two of them are taking engineering at Clemson because they can 'have fun while they get a degree.' You can quote RoI stats to them all day, and they won't budge in their opinion. They wanted more in their four years at college than what they thought GT could offer. Both, BTW visited GT. They still opted for a party school in the middle of a cow town. So you can call me obtuse, but that's the reality GT faces. Not just GT, but any academics first university. [/QUOTE]
