Better location for internships? That’s like saying if NYC is 100 for internship location…Columbia, SC is a 3 and Clemson, SC is a 1.

Not everyone wants to be in New York, Trump's home state.

Son, didn't apply to Clemson but did apply to South Carolina. Was his second choice. We really thought he was going to go there but ended up someplace else. I can't imagine one is significantly better than the other for career outcomes.

Where did he go?

OP here. Not looking to compare South Carolina opportunities to internships in NYC. I understand that the schools aren’t feeders or target schools for Wall Street. Just curious about the comparison between the two South Carolina schools for a business major. Looking to add a higher acceptance rate school for a high stats kid. Indiana is already on the list.

I hear you...but don't put any credence in either as a location for internships, which I gather means internships during the school year. Neither offers much locational advantage.

I don't know much about South Carolina but I was impressed with Clemson career services (it does get high marks by Princeton Review and others) and how students indicated that professors in the Business program were vary career-focused and try to partner with companies in their classes to work on real-world projects which also leads to jobs for some of the kids in the class.

South Carolina has a stronger national presence.

There is indeed more opportunity in Columbia than Clemson. Columbia is also closer to Charlotte and Charleston, two of the fastest growing cities in the US and extremely popular for twenty something’s after college.

Columbia is 90 miles from Charlotte and Clemson 135. Neither is particularly close…but I don’t understand at all how that 45 mile difference would matter to anyone for internships (BTW, it doesn’t).

Thanks.

It should be 5 years because it’s usually only 30 additional credits for a masters in accounting.

My kid is at South Carolina. Was a capstone scholar (one step below honors), and got $16k a year in merit, making it comparable with Virginia Tech and W&M in state in cost at $42k.

Was waitlisted at Clemson but also accepted to W&M, JMU, Indiana Kelly and Pitt.

Loves the school and is involved in a club sport and has some pretty close friends from the capstone dorm. Great football and basketball games too. Not in the Greek system but has friends that are. There are many people from up and down the East Coast that are his friends.

It’s definitely worth a look and it’s turned out better than we could have even expected.

South Carolina hands down

Any insights on Clemson vs. South Carolina for a business major? High stats boy who prefers schools with sports and a fun college town environment (UVA, UGA, Wisconsin).
