<p>* We live in Tn so UTenn will be less expensive by far. </p>
<p>My son loves the campus at Clemson, so based on your comments looks like he should like Bama and Auburn too.
So far here are his preferences:
Top choices : Clemson, Vanderbilt
2nd Tier: Alabama, Auburn, Florida ( he qualifies for in state tuition)
3rd tier: South Carolina, Tennessee, GA Tech (campus not too appealing and hard to get scholarships) *</p>
<p>I’m confused…</p>
<p>If you live in Tennessee, why does he qualify for in-state in Florida?</p>
<p>Are you military, and Florida is your state of record?</p>
<p>Or, is he National Merit, National Achievement, or National Hispanic, and gets in-state that way?</p>
<p>I don’t know how much rankings takes into account co-op or internship opportunities and such…but that would be a big deal to consider, too. </p>
<p>My son has had a generously paying internship from his first year.</p>
