Define "tons". I know like three that moved there
according to Auburn's website, of the 24,000 undergrads at Auburn, about 3,000 are from Georgia. Another 1,110 are from Florida. 14,000 are from Alabama. Yeah it's a running joke, but how many Atlanta kids who go to Auburn is always vastly overexaggerated. I bet there are more kids from Tennessee who go to Ole Miss than kids from Georgia who go to Auburn fwiw. Auburn's close proximity to Atlanta alone makes it dumb to make a big deal over.

Yea, was about to say, if Puppets argument was "public schools in Metro Atlanta have absolutely plummeted since the Pandemic and people are shook about it"?
Then I'd have been like.............yea, you are absolutely frickin right. That discussion is taking up way too much of the precious little free at home time in the SoG household right now.

Yes, there are people that are very angry about the city and state. There are also a lot of people who are upset about some issues and looking for some changes. There are also some people who are very happy with their lives.
Your argument was that EVERYONE was leaving and EVERYONE hated it. In reality, you have some friends in Buckhead who probably wanted Buckhead to be allowed to get out of Atlanta (understandably) and are pissed off that once again they were told to kick rocks. There are a whole lot of people in Buckhead that are fuming about that situation and how it was handled and the fact that Kemp basically punted it back to the state legislature.
The cesspool of GA starts in Atlanta. But GA as a whole is becoming the preferred destination of people in the North that want to get the hell out of there. With that comes baggage and people who were actually run out of the North. Some in GA are welcoming them with open arms because that is one more vote for them. Atlanta has tied the hands of the Police Force and you all pay for the pandering that is taking place. Your comments tell me you choose to ignore them instead of confronting them. That will only compound the issue. We will see in November.

Well I work for a company that has offices in Atlanta and Birmingham and Atlanta is by far the preferred destination for anyone that didn't go to school in Tuscaloosa (including Auburn) and has been for a decade plus.
I guess it depends on what specialty the company you work for hires and what is their 10-year plan a family member. My son's company is pretty well known in the industry and are comprised of many AU grads, plus a few from every other major university in the South. Again, Birmingham is much more preferred. I also have a friend that works for the Southern Company at a very high level. He only moved to Atlanta as a promotion from BHM (Alabama Power) and loves Birmingham much more.

Most of the auburn fans I know around here are in hiding right now.

I'm going to let you in on a little secret. After your first entry level job making $50-60k/year, employers don't give a damn where you went to college. And most entry level employers don't care either if you didn't major in something super specialized or specific to the job. Your poly sci degree at UGA doesn't give you a leg up on the Auburn kid with the same degree just because UGA may be more difficult to get into. The shite-posting about what different state schools are ranked is always hilarious for me to read. No one in the real world cares.
Carefully read every post I have made in this thread. I have not once referenced US News or any other rankings. The only thing I have repeatedly, over and over, referenced, is that UGA has higher admission standards than Auburn.
Not one single rebuttal.
The kids getting into UGA have higher scores than the kids getting into Auburn.
That's the only point I am making.
Nobody has refuted it. Nobody. Because they can't.

IP, I'm not arguing with your experiences or friends. But I live here, work here, and have extensive cross-state connections professionally and familiarly. I'm just telling you there are lots of people who do not feel that way or have the same thoughts on it.
That's it. That's all I got on it!
That's it. That's all I got on it!

Which is totally opposite of those who served in the military. I know how it works.

Every SEC university is incredibly easy to get into unless you are a Neanderthal. Let’s quit with the academics garbage baw.

I'm talking about the Georgia high school kids that couldn't get into UGA so they went to Auburn, then come back to ATL area when they graduate.
Why is that important or notable to you? So you have a state-funded scholarship program that made it difficult to get into your school. Congrats?
But yes, let's troll someone because they didn't get >3.8 GPA in high school. Can we laugh at the UGA students who flunk out and end up back in Atlanta at Georgia State too? Or do you think making jokes about someone going to one state school over another is a little silly?

That’s actually not the case anymore. A lot of the SEC schools are very competitive

Real Talk - Growing up in Metro Atlanta and getting in at UGA is hard. Lots of really smart kids who test relatively well don't do it these days and end up at other very solid schools with reasonably difficult entrance requirements.

Oh I know, I just think essentially calling Auburn kids from Atlanta stupid is extremely juvenile.

UGA has gotten ridiculously difficult to get into. I could see it affecting the football program down the road tbh. When my sister was a freshman in 2009 her roommate was a Russian vampire from New Jersey.

You're including Vanderbilt in that statement?

Oh yea, that was my point. The whole lottery thing changed the landscape of admissions in the South, especially in-state vs out-of-state. Getting in at Tennessee is even a whole different animal now than it was when me and you were growing up.
Whether the school's themselves became better is a different discussion.
