<p>We live right outside of Houston (9 years here) and previously lived in New Orleans, (15 years), so being in a city is important to her. Our concern Atlanta vs. Memphis is that you can go freeway downtown in Atlanta, but in Memphis you have to pass through some very seed areas to get to town. We do have friends in both cities in case she needs someone. </p>
<p>Her other concerns are of course the prestige factor, money (she’s been offered the Bellingrath and a good scholarship from Emory, also), personal attention (Rhodes faculty/studen ratio us 12:1 and Emory is 9:1), internships, study abroad programs and areas of study offered. My concern is that if she can’t get a class in during one semester it might not be offered until 3 years later. Lots of stuff to consider. She and her dad are leaving today to make another quick visit to Emory.</p>
