1000% ride does sound tempting...

Being from SC, I think it's more family ties, tradition, etc. College football is followed by many people who barely graduated high school. ... Just "regular" people treat it like a pro team. They have flags on their cars on game-day, wear shirts, hats, have decorated man-caves, etc. A student from a particular family would only apply to one - so wouldn't even consider the other.

USC is spread out all over Columbia. (Some say that as if it's a positive.) I went to Clemson so a bit biased, but to be totally honest, neither means much outside of the Southeast. Clemson does have good engineering and architecture programs; USC is not really known for anything except nice kids, average intelligence kids who like to party.

They have a international business program that is somewhat recognized

That's an MBA program, correct?

No. Incorrect. It is an undergraduate program.

Is one of these schools considered more prestigious? For instance, for students accepted to both, which would most choose?

It is not a very highly rated school nationally, but if you want to live in that part of the world, as a regional school, it is fine.

???? It is ranked 70th by USNews. Technically just one slot lower than UMD, and the same rating as GWU. Higher than Tech.

Technically, but I think any prospective employer would hire the average student from GWU, Tech or UMD over Clemson.

As an employer, I tend to pass over GW. I would look at their law school grads but nothing else.

Important post, people. Everybody listen up. This one guy doesn’t hire GW grads.

Weird. So it’s ok for you to say that you “think” the average employer would hire the average student from Tech/UMD/GW over Clemson but someone with actual experience cannot share their opinion? K.

Anyone who rules out all students of any university, even the absolute best and brightest, is an imbecile. You’ve admitted you’re an imbecile. It’s cool.

At what point is a state school considered strong?
