[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A friend's kid - normal jocky white guy from a Bethesda HS - matriculated at USC/Columbia with some classmates five years ago.   Couldn't stand it -- the parochialism, the race attitudes, the antiquated dated scene, the country club anti-semitism (said he never felt Jewish until he went to USC).   He focussed on keeping his grades up and transferred after his freshman year to Syracuse, where he spent three really happy years (and was in a fraternity at Syracuse, so it's not like he's some social justice warrior).

To each their own, but be careful not to automatically buy into the "everyone from the DMV is going to southern flagships now" hype you see on this site.   It can be a bigger culture shock that one expects or is prepared for.   South Carolina might not be quite as "southern" as it used to be, but the DMV is also a lot more northeastern than it used to be.    [/quote]

I live in not so great FCPS pyramid and have noticed a lot more kids matriculating to Southern Flagships. I know a few families with kids there now or heading there next fall and money is the overwhelming reason. Those schools approach free for a good student. Meanwhile, [b]UVA[/b] and W&M are [b]pushing 40k a year in state[/b].  [/quote]

it is already over 40K at UVA , 45.88K all-in to be exact for in-state, if your kid is in School of Engineering or Applied Sciences.[/quote]
