Whatever Tennessee is, I feel like Georgia was a much worse version of that. Looking back at it, I cannot get over how cliquish the environment was even in the alumni space. I went to some alumni meetups in Atlanta and some in NYC and everyone always had an angle. It was what they can get out of you and if they could not get anything out of you, then forget it. It never clicked for me when I was there but looking back at it, man Athens was one overrated and cliquey environment that I have not seen out of other college environments. There is really something wrong with the culture in suburban Atlanta and Athens itself. It just felt like a miserable environment to be a part of.
I have been involved with rich people from the northeast and west coast and they were way more inclusive. Meanwhile, some typical suburban Atlanta kid usually comes off as smug despite not having that much to be smug about.
