<p>uhh…Athens is more cosmopolitan than Nashville??? Have you ever lived/worked in Nashville? It is a major third coast city with gobs of colleges and major sports and cultural institutions and a very hot economy.</p>
<p>Athens is a perfectly uniquely friendly wonderful vibrant college town…</p>
<p>but I agree life is short. And organic chem and MCATs are tough no matter where you park for four years.</p>
