As someone who grew up in the south and couldn't wait to get away from all of this, I find this so ironic and borderline laughable.

True, D went to a southern school and couldn't get out of there fast enough

I think part of the issue here is that DC area kids are really used to everyone being liberal/democrat. People can say whatever they want because 99.5% of people will agree with them. My kids spent a significant portion of their lives in a more politically mixed area. Additionally, in extended family gatherings they have learned to respect others' opinions. They are more comfortable living in an area with a diversity of opinions. I know that people will say you mean with racists, sexists, etc. but there is more to it than that.

Even without recession if you are full paying that is the most cost effective way to do it.

Ironically that's not what happened in the last recession. People want a Prestige degree during times of bad economy. To help with the added competition.

Why?

DP - because they are mediocre schools in generally lousy environments and do not have any national stature unless you are on the football team.

lol. Oh, honey. Stay clueless.

You stay a Confederate sympathizer! When they start voting Democratic I’ll start thinking they’re smart!

U of SC is growing in popularity with the area top schools because of its honors college - the #1 in the US. And, they give lots of merit aid for that program and tons of support.

Without a doubt. I suspect hundreds of mediocre LACs close their doors very soon. Probably quite a few regional public universities too.

Only Clemson.

The others no.
