Most of the replies are probably from people who have no idea what they are talking about. It is a beautiful place and a great time and a lot of different types of people.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Thank you for sharing. I hope your daughter finds a great place to transfer to. Maybe she could start a "Damn Yankee" clu in the meantime?

Unless you’re a born-again Christian, run from this school.

Do a lot of students at these southern schools go to church on sundays?

Yes, and also on Wednesday nights, and there is Young Life. There are very large and active Baptist campus ministries at all of these schools. Other churches also have ministries but they are a bit smaller. There is way more talk about accepting Jesus as your personal savior and finding your church home than I had seen at a secular college. I went to grad school there.

oh and the kids from South Carolina that go there think they are going to Harvard or something.

Packaging science? Is that a typo?
