I recommended Atlanta to mana and I'll do it again. Housing is relatively cheap as long as you're willing to have a commute and jobs are decently plentiful if you have a degree. Do you mind saying what you're majoring in?
I grew up is Wisconsin and would move back in a minute if I could find a great job but my wife hates the winter and so it's probably gonna be just a dream. Milwaukee and Madison are be great places to live, IMHO.
NC is where my wife wants to live. It's unlikely I'll ever find work there given my field but what little time I've been there it's a beautiful place at least.
You don't say what's important to you besides jobs and maybe weather? If you mind winter at all I'd keep Wisco low. Atlanta is ok, no bitter cold, at least.
