If you're from Australia/Georgia/Hong Kong/New Zealand...

My roommate is actually an exchange student from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Anything in particular you'd to know about?

D'aw. Wait a minute, I offer advice on Hong Kong though completely neglect to give you info on the school in my home state!

Emory's a great school, yeah. Almost went there but decided at the last minute I'd rather go to college out of state. The school's at a decent location on the northside of Atlanta, and though public transportation can be a bit inconvenient it can take you pretty much anywhere you need to go. I don't know how good it's economics program is specifically but the school's got a solid academic reputation.

And plus if you go to Emory, that could lead to some sort of awesome Atlanta Atlas meet-up involving me, you, Dibble, Clay, etc, maybe.

I'll ask the roommate about Hong Kong next time I see him, btw.

By the way, a great opportunity to see much of the Eastern seaboard from Atlanta without a private vehicle (and without hassling with airports) is Amtrak's Crescent Line. New Orleans is in one direction, and stops such as Washington DC, Philadelphia, and NYC are in the other. I take it between college and home all the time; it's apparently one of Amtrak's star lines so there's really great service too.
