reporting income from job at out of state college

My home state is Georgia.  I attend college in Tennessee and have a job as a RA for the dorms.  The University sent me a W2 listing GA as the state with the employers state id no.   No mention of TN. 

Does that mean I just have to file a GA return?

Correct.  You only need to file a Georgia state tax return.  Tennessee does not have an income tax (except for certain investment income), so you don't need to file with them.  Since you are a resident of Georgia, all of your income is taxable by Georgia, even if it was earned in another state.
