Episode Details

Sometimes the biggest growth comes from stepping outside your comfort zone—even if you choose to stay home for college. This episode explores how students who stayed close to hometowns still found value in exploring new cities through internships or future moves, gaining perspective on what their home offers and what’s missing. One student left Memphis for Chattanooga, then considered returning; another moved from Knoxville to Chattanooga, now eyeing Atlanta for better transit, walkability, and career prospects. The writer himself took an internship in Indianapolis, realizing that even without leaving permanently, exposure to other places deepens appreciation for home—and helps shape smarter decisions about where to go next. The takeaway? Your world doesn’t have to be the size of your hometown.
