According to Atlanta Journal-Constitution, both Emory University and Georgia Tech have made the list of the ten best colleges in the state of Georgia. A recent study by Niche.com factored in survey results from students and alumni, data from private and public databases, and proprietary data to determine the best colleges in each state in the country and the best colleges in the country as a whole. The results for Georgia put Tech as the #3 school in Georgia, behind rival UGA. However, Emory was without equal and was named the best college in the state by Niche.
