The south has some of the highest obesity rates in the nation.

Clemson is the only good flagship in SC. USC degrees are a running joke in the South.

Are you jealous of the fit kids having fun at the pool because you’re obese and miserable?

USC is pretty ugly outside the small footprint of old campus the rest is lots of asphalt and heat. Crime is high in the area but academics are easy at USC. It used to be very in state crowd but maga oos types much more common. Plent of old school SC frat bros too.

What an outdated stereotype. Nobody thinks the new campus village is ugly. How many new dorms has your college built over the last year?

Now that campus village is complete, another old dorm is coming down and a new dorm going up. Oh, and the honors dorm is getting an expansion. You know, the home to the most selective college in SC.

This is objectively false. USC was founded long before Clemson and is much more historic. SC is known for honors, business, law and the medical school. Clemson for engineering, much like UVa (SC) and VT (Clemson)

However, together, they are certainly the top colleges in SC and both are leading to tons of kids coming to the state for college. When they work together, good things happen.

You obviously are not from the South. Gamecock country has always been lower class but as any native Southerner knows we can't all be high class, can we?

When/what was the previous "record"?

I’m from the South, but you seem really hung up on old stereotypes. Neither Clemson nor USC is lower class. I’m focused on the future and both are excellent colleges, just different areas of focus.

Got a $16k/ scholarship that makes it the same as in state at VT. Better ranked first year experience too. He seemed to have a better time than some of his other friends he has at other popular schools around here.

Strong business program and he has lots of friends from up and down the East Coast. His best friends are from NH, Maryland and Charlotte.

Didn’t have to go Greek either. Yes the state politics are MAGA and repulsive, but to be honest, it doesn’t really impact him day to day, any more than it does for me in NOVA. The school is a mix of Dems and republicans. (I was worried about it, but it has been a non-issue.).

Yes this!! Trust me, I researched 1st and said she wasn’t allowed to apply to any public FL schools. They still have diversity programs and pride month and things like that.

Yes-daughter does get frustrated that many (majority) of the “frat bros” are Trumpers. But unfortunately that’s true of many in that age range. Even at VT Yes-didn’t appreciate Kirk when he came to campus and couldn’t avoid walking through the area.

What southern schools still have diversity programs?

Spare me your BS. The state of SC is 25-30% Black. Compare that to Mass which is 6-7% Black or Wisconsin is 7-8% Black. Columbia, SC is a diverse city and UofSC is an urban campus.

Keep talking about diversity programs while sending your kids to states that are less diverse or to campuses that are in the suburbs. Your hypocrisy is stunning. You wouldn’t last a day in the diverse city of Columbia, SC.

Oh, and I’m liberal.

+1!

If the inclusion of African Americans is important, this is obviously true, and one of the reasons I don’t criticize the idea of kids going to SEC schools.

UCs are diverse, but the lack of African Americans is well known.
