Welcome back to another episode of Breaking Boundaries, the world's premier podcast for international students, or at least in the top 25.

歡迎回到 Breaking Boundaries 的最新一集，這是全球頂尖的國際學生播客，至少也是前 25 名。

I'm honored today to be joined by distinguished guest Richard James, the director of graduate recruiting at Georgia State University's J.

今天很榮幸能邀請到傑出貴賓 Richard James，他是喬治亞州立大學 J.

Mac Robinson 商學院的研究所學生招募總監。

Richard, thanks so much for joining us today.

Richard，非常謝謝你今天來參加。

I really appreciate the invitation and looking forward to a great conversation today.

我真的很感謝你的邀請，也很期待今天能有很棒的對談。

Now, before we get to Georgia State, Atlanta is, I think, one of the most fascinating cities in the Northern hemisphere.

在我們聊到喬治亞州立大學之前，亞特蘭大，我想，是北半球最迷人的城市之一。

And I want you to share a little bit about some of the, some of the values of Atlanta for folks overseas who may never have researched the city before.

我想請你跟我們分享一下，對於那些可能從未研究過亞特蘭大的海外朋友，亞特蘭大有哪些迷人之處。

You know, being a native of Atlanta, you know, I have a very close affinity to the city.

你知道，身為亞特蘭大在地人，我對這座城市有很深的歸屬感。

I mean, I've lived in almost every part of Atlanta from the suburbs to the city.

我說，我住過亞特蘭大幾乎所有的地方，從郊區到市中心。

I think it's one of the truly untapped markets.

我認為這是個真正未被開發的市場之一。

I mean, you know, when you think about the US Especially for an international student, you always kind of gravitate to the New York's, the LA's, the Miami and things.

意思是說，你知道，當你想到美國，特別是對於國際學生來說，你總是會想到紐約、洛杉磯、邁阿密這些地方。

But I feel like we have a really good thing going here in Atlanta.

但我覺得我們在亞特蘭大這裡做得真的很好。

I mean, you know, Atlanta is home to like many Fortune 500 companies.

意思是說，你知道，亞特蘭大是許多財富 500 強公司的所在地。

A lot of companies are establishing their headquarters here, you know, and

很多公司在這裡設立總部，你知道，而且

I think when you think about the city itself is really a melting pot, Right.

我認為當你想到這座城市本身，它真的是一個大熔爐，對吧。

And you can really go to different parts of the city and get a completely different cultural vibe.

而且你真的可以去城市的各個地方，體驗截然不同的文化氛圍。

And I think for, for us, you know, Georgia State kind of being right there in the middle, we're able to kind of take advantage of this huge untapped business hub.

我覺得對我們來說，你知道，喬治亞州立大學就在市中心，我們能夠利用這個巨大的未開發商業中心。

You know, I think right now they call us the Hollywood of the south because a lot of people are starting to see all the movies.

你知道，我認為現在他們稱我們為「南方好萊塢」，因為很多人開始看到這些電影。

And if you're a Tyler Perry fan, he's here.

如果你是 Tyler Perry 的粉絲，他就在這裡。

And so you have a lot of the, and it actually happens at Georgia State quite a bit.

所以你有很多，而且這其實在喬治亞州立大學經常發生。

I get an email at least once or twice every other week about a movie that's being filmed like in front of our school.

我大概每隔一週就會收到一兩封關於在我們學校前面拍攝的電影的電子郵件。

And a lot of our students get to be extras in them.

而且我們的很多學生都有機會在裡面當臨演。

so if you have an interest in the film industry, I think it's a great hub for that.

所以如果你對電影產業有興趣，我認為這裡是個很棒的中心。

But if you're really looking at business, I mean, we're also kind of emerging.

不過如果你真的對商業有興趣，我們學校也正在崛起。

We have these new industries in fintech and health informatics and supply and logistics, if you're, if you're into those kind of things.

我們有金融科技、健康資訊學、供應鏈和物流等新興產業，如果你對這些領域感興趣的話。

You know, Atlanta is really starting to thrive in that area and really be kind of become this tech hub in the southeast region.

你知道嗎，亞特蘭大在這方面真的開始蓬勃發展，並且真正成為東南部地區的科技中心。

I looked at the data for the last four years.

The number of international students in Georgia is up 16%.

喬治亞州的國際學生人數增加了 16%。

而大部分的增長來自亞特蘭大。

Infinite opportunities, relatively cheap housing compared to the coast as well.

無限的機會，而且房價相對海岸地區也比較便宜。

And Richard, you mentioned the diversity of vibes, and you mentioned Tyler Perry.

而且 Richard，你提到了這裡多元的文化氛圍，還有你提到了 Tyler Perry。

There were two formative bands for me as a middle schooler who both come from the Atlanta metropolitan area.

在我國中時期，有兩個對我影響很深的樂團，他們都來自亞特蘭大都會區。

And their sounds are as different as you can imagine.

他們的音樂風格差異很大，跟你想像的一樣。

One was REM Guys with guitars, nasally whiny voices, alt rock.

一個是 REM，吉他手、鼻音較重、有點抱怨的聲音，另類搖滾。

And the second was outkast, maybe the most important band of my youth.

第二個是 Outkast，可能是我年輕時最重要的樂團。

Revolutionary hip hop, slash funk, slash techno for students thinking about Atlanta.

革命性的嘻哈、放克、科技舞曲，給考慮來亞特蘭大的學生。

If you YouTube, both of these bands, wildly different, but both came from the Atlanta area.

如果你有看 YouTube，這兩個樂團風格差異很大，但都來自亞特蘭大。

Yeah, I think that's the perfect antidote to try to, like, sum it together.

對，我覺得這就是最好的方法，試著把它們總結在一起。

這就是為什麼我會稱亞特蘭大為。

The way you talk about, like, you know, we're in the south, so we have that.

就像你說的，我們在南方，所以我們有那種。

We have some pretty good food too, right?

我們也有很不錯的食物，對吧？

I'm not going to, you know, exaggerate and say we have the best cuisine, but we do.

我不會，你知道，誇大其詞地說我們有最好的美食，但我們確實有。

我們有，就像，亞特蘭大的味道。

That's always really good, where you can get some good barbecue, you can get some good soul food, but

那總是真的很棒，你可以吃到很棒的烤肉，你可以吃到很棒的靈魂食物，但是

There's some good Thai food that's around here.

I mean, you have a lot of options to choose from.

And so I like to think that Atlanta really has something for everybody, whether it's your.

所以，我認為亞特蘭大真的什麼都有，無論是你的。

And even the parks and outdoor life, a lot of people don't really associate.

就連公園和戶外生活，很多人其實沒有聯想到。

And it's not far from campus, so the city is kind of undergoing this.

而且離校園不遠，所以這個城市正在經歷這個。

This initiative to try to really make the city more walkable.

這個倡議，試圖讓城市變得更適合步行。

還有這個環狀線，然後，還有。

他們可以，你知道，好好享受這個城市。

There's some good restaurants, some good bars, and

有一些很棒的餐廳，很棒的酒吧，然後

so you're able to walk along the belt line and really take a tour of the city.

所以你就可以沿著環狀線散步，好好地遊覽這個城市。

而且還有，像是，一些滑板公園。

And so if you're not used to that kind of thing.

所以如果你不習慣那種東西的話。

You know, there's a lot of trees and, and

你知道，有很多樹，然後，然後

I think that's something really unique about being in a city.

我覺得這是在城市裡很獨特的一件事。

You know, you don't typically see all of the, the, the, the, the green, the nature and all of those things.

你知道，你通常不會看到這麼多，這麼多，這麼多，這麼多，這麼多綠意、大自然和所有這些東西。

And then you touched on something earlier about just the cost of living.

然後你之前有提到，關於生活成本這件事。

I think that's the, a huge factor, you know, when you're kind of looking at the economics of things.

我覺得這是一個很大的因素，你知道，當你在看事情的經濟效益時。

If you're new to the US and you're, you're, you know, you want to take advantage of a thriving business hub, but

如果你剛到美國，而且你想利用一個蓬勃發展的商業中心，但是

also, you know, being able to have an affordable cost of living situation.

同時，你知道，也能夠擁有一個負擔得起的生活成本。

Atlanta is always ranked near the best cities as far as just, you know, what you're getting and what you're able to afford and rent and food, transportation, that kind of thing.

亞特蘭大總是排名在最佳城市之列，就你所獲得的、你負擔得起的租金、食物、交通等等。

Yeah, Atlanta is kind of in that sweet spot where you don't have to break the bank to find a decent place to live during school, but

對，亞特蘭大正好處於那個甜蜜點，你不需要花大錢就能在求學期間找到一個不錯的住處，但是

in the summer and after school, the available work opportunities are vast.

到了夏天和畢業之後，可用的工作機會非常多。

所以它同時滿足了這兩個需求。
