[quote=Anonymous]My son is graduating University of South Carolina in early May and starting Grad school in Boulder late May. He has loved his experience at Carolina, attended on scholarship (ended up being same price as instate for Maryland) is graduating as a triple major in 3 years (business). I will say the cost of living was fabulous for housing in Carolina, we are now having sticker shock for Boulder. A 390 sq foot studio is 1400 a month NOT including utilities and parking. He chose Carolina over U MD (direct admit business) and Va Tech (direct admit engineering- at the time he was undecided about his major) due to the SEC party school rah rah vibe in addition to Carolina being ranked the #1 International Business school in the country- which was his major. There is a party culture but there is also a great honors program and plenty of serious students. It doesn't have to be one or the other. He applied to 10 grad schools, got accepted to 8 (including Maryland, U Conn, and Duke) and he is off to Boulder. Let your kid have some fun and be 20. Life is more than work and degrees.[/quote]
