The University of Alabama might offer you the best of both worlds, or at least being in the South plus big time football. Check out these out of state scholarships at 'Bama:

The vet school in the state of Alabama is in Auburn, however. Since they are football rivals, that could be a bit tense. However, you could consider Auburn for undergraduate. Not as generous with scholarships as 'Bama, but might match OSU. Take a look here:

I live in Columbus, and yes it is bitterly cold. You will not do much outdoor running in January and February. Actually, there is not all that much to do here. Columbus is a typical boring Mid-West city. Cincinnati is far more interesting, for example. Let me be BLUNT… Ohio State football sucks the oxygen out of everything else here. It really is the only thing that anybody cares about. 'Bama is pretty rabid too, but that is to be expected on campus and in such a small city as Tuscaloosa. But in a large city like Columbus, there should be other topics besides football. There aren’t.

A lot of people do not like the remoteness of Clemson. I have never been there, but somehow I keep hearing about folks being surprised that it is the middle of nowhere.
