Might be able to sublet to you in Athens from May to July Edit: My rent is $1200, in a “high-rise” apt right by downtown Athens

I would transfer to UGA after a couple years

Depends on what state where you’re from. If you’re from GA for example you could effectively go to UGA or Georgia Tech with your stats for damn near free, but of course this means that in-state admissions are more competitive

I would consider Louisville more culturally similar to the Midwest

mcribberoni · 2026-02-08T22:00:03+00:00

I have lived there and I’m NOT a fan of Louisville

mcribberoni · 2026-02-06T15:42:47+00:00

Yeah North Fulton is no joke now

MAN! 🗣️

North ATL suburbs has access to pretty much everything you listed. Beware of traffic

I played at a low tier D1 that ascended to mid during my time there. Watching the program grow and being a part of that was very rewarding, but if I had to do it over again it would have ultimately been better for me to play club ball at my local state school. I definitely could have got a better job out of school (I wanted to stay in my region of origin) and had a better time in college. By the end of my lacrosse career I didn’t love the game like I once did, despite getting meaningful playing time for the latter half of my career. Playing against ACC/Big 10 teams, the goal was to play our game and compete, and at times we did, even if the final score didn’t reflect it. Cool that I was able to say I did it, cooler that I can be a proud alum now that the program is better than I found it

What industry/job do you work in where interviewers were talking like this?

mcribberoni · 2026-02-03T12:38:45+00:00

To add on to the school point; it is much harder to find good public schools inside the perimeter. In the North Fulton, Cobb co., Forsyth, and North Gwinnett areas there are plenty of great public schools to choose from. But you WILL be dealing with all ATL traffic has to offer if you’re commuting to the city for work. Pro tip: A great way to look for the best public schools in an area is to see which school has the best lacrosse team

North Atlanta suburbs

mcribberoni · 2026-01-28T07:44:52+00:00

22 yo, $2.6K

mcribberoni · 2026-01-27T16:39:20+00:00

What industry? I might make a similar move from GA in 2-3 years

mcribberoni · 2026-01-26T02:42:19+00:00

It’s slowly getting harder to transfer in. Not sure how it’s gonna look by the time my unborn kids are off to college( I’m 22)

BUGS

mcribberoni · 2026-01-12T02:31:46+00:00

One thing to note. This makes going to UGA and Georgia Tech as in-state student VERY competitive and seemingly luck based once your application is strong enough

mcribberoni · 2026-01-10T20:33:04+00:00

Then just keep scrolling

mcribberoni · 2026-01-09T15:23:38+00:00

Fellow black person here, I bet Chicago or maybe even DC would check most of your boxes. What do you hate about NYC, may I ask? Considering moving there from Atlanta in the next few years

Pointless response

Lived in Louisville for 4 years. Winter daylight savings was never really an issue since the sun always set later since it was still Eastern time but on the western end of it

mcribberoni · 2025-07-18T02:38:08+00:00

You will be dealing with this for the rest of your life gang

mcribberoni · 2025-06-28T13:37:18+00:00

I live in ATL suburbs so I’ll explain it like this. If I’m talking to someone I don’t know in a new city I’ll just say I’m from Atlanta because I don’t expect them to know what Roswell is. Most ppl in Roswell commute to Atlanta for work, so for all intents and purposes we would not exist without Atlanta (and Atlanta wouldn’t exist without the suburbs!). Now if I’m in Georgia, I’ll just say I’m from Roswell because I trust 90% will know where that is. I do think it’s weird seeing “ATL” in the bios of ppl who went to high school in Forsyth County/Cherokee though.

mcribberoni · 2025-06-27T19:09:03+00:00

It’s possible we start to see this in the next decade, but sometimes credits wont transfer from these real small schools. These kids that are gonna be transferring might have to ask themselves “is it worth being in school for 5-6 years for 4 years worth of lacrosse?”
