[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my child is going to Clemson for less than it would cost to go to Maryland.  Have you seen Clemson?  Have you seen Maryland?  even if paying full price I would hope they would decide to go to Clemson. [/quote]

I fully understand why some students would prefer Clemson over Maryland.  But surely you can understand why some students might prefer a higher ranked university near a major urban area (UMD 's locations puts DC and Baltimore in easy reach) compared to the 2+ hours it takes to drive from Clemson to Atlanta or Charlotte (and no, Greenville is not a major urban area).

[b]That's right, nobody from Clemson ever gets a job.  Their alumni network is full of highway workers who hold stop and slow signs.[/b]

You should just stop with trying to figure this out, it will never make sense to you [/quote]

??  Uh, who said anything about Clemson students not finding a job?  No one.  It appears that you are so defensive and opinionated that you're creating criticism where it doesn't exist so you can counter it.  College students look for different things -- some would take Clemson over UMD in a heartbeat and others would not.  Why is it so hard to acknowledge that?  But fine, UMD is hell on earth and Clemson is paradise.  Anyone who thinks otherwise is insane.  Feel better? [/quote]
