I agree with Lax's post but I will add that if he wants to live in Georgia long-term, a degree from Georgia or Georgia Tech helps in many ways. People from the south or the Midwest tend to respect and trust people that went to an in-state school. It's not like that in the other parts of the country but I think it is true in the Midwest and South.
In other words, IF he wants to live in Georgia, the disparity in quality of education and quality of alumni networks is mitigated a bit. That being said, it's still not even close and I would pick ND or Stanford if he really cares about academics and his future.
This. If I had a degree from Notre Dame, it wouldn't do more for me here than my degree from Moo U. If he plans on staying in Georgia long-term, those schools are just fine and dandy. That said, a degree from ND or Stanford or (insert elite school here) means a lot everywhere.
Bruh has a tough decision to make.
