There's only so much ignorance I can address in one post. If there's any argument to be made for an alternate location, it likely would have been to put the university near present day Lumber City at the intersection of the Ocmulgee and Oconee Rivers, where the Altamaha forms and begins its run down to the coast. It would have actually been closer to the then-capital of Louisville, GA (and, subsequently, Milledgeville) and obviously closer to Savannaah.

i paint a picture, i let others work out the details.
they could have located it near downtown Savannah though. ATL didn't want to help Savvanah though.
pretty sure there was a road b/t atlanta and Nooga, so campus location in n. ga mountains was possible.
plus they could have changed locations in the 1800's sometime. many universities changed locations, wake forest comes to mind.
athens is aight though where it is. make sense for it to be near atlanta, given most of students are from there.
