[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree South Carolina is increasingly popular among DMV students.   A friend's son (from Walter Johnson, normal jock-ish white kid) went there with a few friends five years ago.   Once he got there as a freshman (and he had visited before applying) he found he really didn't like it.  Felt the social customs were very southern in a way he didn't like (wrt to dating, race relations, views toward Jewish students,  'you're a guest here' attitude toward non-Southerners), didn't think the academics were serious, didn't like the setting.   He worked hard, got great grades his freshman year, and transferred to a northeastern university for sophomore fall (ironically one of those schools whose winter climate DCUM commenters complain about incessantly....).   He had a great three years at the second school and just graduated (on schedule) last spring.

Bottom line:   yes, more kids from the DMV are going to South Carolina.  Some presumably like it, but not all do.   But don't pretend it's "just like here but with balmier weather and easier admissions" because it isn't.       [/quote]

Isn’t college about getting out of the bubble?[/quote]

Out of one and into another. Pick your bubble wisely.[/quote]
