<p>i dont know why you have chosen those states in particular, but to stay in the “southeast” you should be considering Emory, Vanderbilt, Duke, and possibly UNC Chapel Hill as the 4 best universities. If you are looking for a smaller college, there are some around your area as well (davidson in NC, etc)
Try to refine your search a little, because some people would thrive at UGA while others would be better off at Emory.</p>
