Road Trip: Take a Bite Out of the Peach State

To visit four of the top schools in Atlanta is to hopscotch from history to the latest in high-tech. Yes, the southern climate's the same, as are the academic reputations. But the atmosphere on each campus could hardly be more distinct. We stopped at Georgia Tech, where innovation rules, saw what a relationship with Coca-Cola does for Emory, heard stories of community spirit at Oglethorpe, and witnessed a reverence for predecessors at historically black Morehouse.

Georgia Schools:

• Emory University
• Georgia Institute of Technology
• Oglethorpe University
• Morehouse College
