GG Says Georgia Better School Than LSU

It is a better school - not debatable

Athens is a better college town than BR - debatable, I guess...

UGA is the better school

Overall, the academics are better at UGA. They are rated higher than us in most publications.

How do the measure the "overall academics" of a school?

I majored in engineering at LSU and I work with a shitload of other engineers. I've met engineers from all over creation, but I've never met an engineer from UGA.

So if I want to be an engineer, is UGA a "better school", or is LSU a "better school"?

Athens, he says, is the best college town in America

Could very well be, but BR isnt a college town its an actual city..... fwiw id rather visit a college town and live in a city

I'm an educated man, but I can't speak intelligently on which school has the better academics.

FWIW...Athens is an awesome town. I'll definitely be going back.

I bet you're upset aren't you Rocket? You've always hated Guilbeau.

UGA is a Liberal Art School

Exactly.

Which is why I think it's stupid ANYTIME people make all-encompassing statements about the value of an education from any school relative to any other school.

If you want to be a lawyer:

LSU < Harvard

If you want to work with the Dept. of Wildlife & Fisheries, or (dare I say) be an engineer:

LSU > UGA

So how can one ever say that "overall" School A > School B? How is this measured/quantified?

These comparisons can only be made in the context of an individual person and their aspirations.

as college towns we are nowhere close to Athens.

That's because we are not located in a college town.

If the "A" in UGA stood for Atlanta, it would be the suck as a college town.
