Looking for similar college setting

It’s tough to replicate a Clemson or U of SC if it’s about weather and sports. IU and Purdue are great but neither quite checks in there. WVU may but U of Kentucky more so would fit. If she likes SC, it’d be worth the drive to UK - it’s not that far - 5.5 hrs and the urban ness of Lexington is much less than Columbia.

Another not far from home school but the wrong way would be SUNYs - Bing and less so Buffalo. Neither will have the spirit or southern charm.

Just 4 hours from home, JMU, which has a gorgeous campus, might be a hidden gem for your student. Sort of southern, nice small town, like Va Tech high rated dorms and food. Football was great this year - just not SEC level.

Another but 6.5 hrs is App State.

Columbia is a nice compact campus. JMU shares some similarity, with a gorgeous quad. It has a second side but from what I saw, you can stay on the main side. And it’s highway accessible.

So I think it and UK are worth looks in addition to the others if they make sense for you geographically (Southern).
