<p>Best Schools In The South (In My Opinion):</p>

<ol>
<li>Davidson College</li>
<li>Furman University</li>
<li>Wofford College</li>
<li>Hampden-Sydney College</li>
<li>Sewanee-The University Of The South</li>
</ol>

<p>Wowwww… Hampden-Sydney tied with Sewanee for fourth best school in the South? No way.</p>

<p>I’ll third the Rhodes recommendation. Furman, Wofford, CofC, Emory, Tulane all good choices.</p>

23

<p>(In no particular order)
DUKE
Vanderbilt
Emory
William & Mary
Tulane
Rice
UVA
Wake Forest
UNC-chapel hill
UGA
Clemonson</p>

<p>Duke is the best! I am surprised people hadn’t mentioned it earlier. Vanderbilt is up there too and its Financial Aid is slightly better than Duke though Duke’s is also excellent.</p>

25

<p>Original Post wasn’t looking for “Best schools in the South”, but, schools that are similar in level or a little less competitive than Vandy… thats why Duke hadn’t been mentioned…</p>

26

<p>Washington and Lee is a great school, lots of attention, and some great merit scholarships. U Richmond is absolutely beautiful and has the Jepsen school of leadership. UVA and William and Mary–well how can you beat that? Heard great things about Davidson, Elon, Sewanee.</p>

27

<p>Consider Berry as a safety. Although, its rather cold up there, especially for Georgia.</p>

<p>Interesting you would include Rice (a Texas school), yet leave UT-Austin off, considering it’s academic programs are ranked higher than just about every school on that list.</p>

29

<p>Texas isn’t really considered “in the south”
South in my opinion = NC. SC, Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Virginia</p>

30

<p>U of South Carolina-Columbia
College of Charleston
Belmont Abbey College
Wofford College
University of Tulsa</p>

<p>Not quite. If you are looking at rankings, then Texas falls behind Duke, Vanderbilt, UVA, UNC, William and Mary, Wake Forest, and Emory…</p>

<p>I would have to recommend the University of South Carolina. It is a great school, lots of fun, and has a beautiful campus.</p>

32

<p>except Clemson is ranked better than USC and was ranked as having the happiest students and is top 20 for best quality of life by the princeton review :)</p>

33

<p>USC is actually in a city though, and has some of the hottest girls around. Also, it is closer to the beach!</p>

34

<p>Koreanxpands - 3.6 and 27 are nice, but in today’s market you’ll have a hard time with the the Emory/Vanderbilt’s even U of Miami. Oxford is a way into Emory with those grades. Kids I know had those beat and got waitlisted at Elon and U of Richmond. What about Belmont right there in Nashville? or Stetson. Rollins.</p>

35

<p>Might look at New College if a small quirky LAC is your thing or Univ. of Florida if a national research univ is more what you have in mind.</p>

36

<p>If you just want geographical closeness, Florida passes as a Southern school. If you want the southern culture, I’d say probably not.</p>

Presumably because the enormous cost of an OOS education at UT Austin ($44,312 for 09/10) hardly makes it worth it compared to the similarly priced Rice ($45,685 for 09/10) with better financial aid and considerably greater undergraduate focus.</p>

<p>I like most of LakeWashington’s suggestions except for Belmont Abbey…it’s not a strong school. The OP can do much, much better.</p>

38

<p>What then where the hell is Texas? LOL</p>

<p>korean i was given the 20k scholarship then i ended up getting a 40k/yr (full tuition) LA legislature scholarship. but i also got really good financial aid in grants etc</p>
