As does USC (S. Carolina).[/quote]

USC (S. Carolina) surprises me every year - but USC gives LOTS of merit aid to kids in the donut hole - so it shouldn't be that surprising.[/quote]

Yes, I was going to write the same and see someone beat me to it. South Carolina came hard at my high-stats kid, sending him several letters unsolicited offering all sorts of aid and perks, including a free computer. For some goofy reason, the free computer offer triggered my kid and he was suddenly hell-bent on applying, until he remembered that he had no desire to be in South Carolina.

I believe Alabama is also famous for offering buckets of merit aid to northern kids.[/quote]

Not surprised about SC. We used to live there.  The school is academically fine, and it is the only place to go if you plan to live in SC at lot of networking and everyone knows everyone else going on.  But wow. Your kid needs to want a conservative, Southern  frat culture to really fit in. I’m glad to hear they are try to diversify. [/quote]

There is also Clemson.[/quote]

Good engineering school. Not Georgia Tech. And not top ten.  But very solid. If I was in NC or SC, I would send my kid there. I would not send a kid there over VT, particularly instate VA tech. [/quote]
