Mississippi I could almost live in if the temperatures averaged 25-40 degrees lower on any given day. Ditto with Alabama, but it’s a bit too heavily developed for my tastes.
South Carolina, no.
Georgia, never.
Huh? Alabama is one of the LEAST developed states in the country. Outside of the Birmingham Metro, Huntsville in the far NE and Mobile in the far SW ... there is miles and miles of literally NOTHING in Alabama.

Alabama has a population of 4.8 million, Mississippi has 2.98. Alabama is slightly larger in land area, but not much. Those extra 2 million are noticeable.
Personally, for truly wide open spaces of nothing, I prefer the Great Plains and places out west that aren’t yet overdeveloped.

Every state is like that.
Even the most developed state, NJ is only 35 percent developed.
The western states are huge and have a lot more empty land.
I don't think most employers will see G Tech and UGA as any better than Clemson and SC, and out of state students can attend those schools. Emory is a private university with a ripoff tuition.
The majority of high school students will not get into these universities, there are only so many spots.
I've never seen anything special about Georgia roads and the lighting on the interstates in ATL is terrible.

You've got some serious rose colored glasses when it comes to South Carolina. Tech and Emory are often cited as reasons why companies are moving to Atlanta. They're objectively better, by far, than any schools in South Carolina. UGA is better too, for that matter.
I think you are going by US News rankings, not what employers think.
I know Clemson is considered on par with G Tech for engineering, architecture and other STEM majors with employers.
I can easily say you have rose color glasses regarding Georgia colleges. I'm not one saying certain colleges are better than other colleges. I don't see the point in doing that. It doesn't seem likely you have independent knowledge of universities in SC.
I know a ton of Clemson grads who are in high paying professions like medicine, engineering, pharmacy, etc so how would attending one of the UGA universities done any more for them. One electrical engineering friend who went to Clemson is a professor at Oxford now.
G Tech is a very small university for a public university in a high population state.....it is actually smaller than Clemson. That means it is very selective and most Georgia applicants won't get accepted there. A good student has a better shot of getting into Clemson than G Tech.
There are Clemson grads all over Atlanta and a ton of ATL high school kids go to Clemson.

Yes employers will see GT and UGA as better because they are, by a long shot.

Because you repeat what's in the US News.... US News doesn't present information on how employers view universities and graduate success.
You present yourself as some kind of expert on how employers view universities you didn't attend.
For example, you can't articulate how an engineering program at Georgia Tech is superior to an engineering program at Clemson. How could you know.
UGA only recently started offering engineering programs and it is a small engineering college....why would engineering employers view UGA as superior to Clemson. You can't explain this.
