Well there are some other colleges along the way if you’d like to walk around more campuses. Appalachian State and UNC-Charlotte are probably safeties for a kid who got into Va Tech and Clemson but they are good schools.

You might like to drop by Asheville. The last time I drove I-85 from Greenville to Charlotte it was a cluster-****. SC is doing some years long project on the road there that was many many many miles long. You might check it out and see if it’s finished yet. If you go to Asheville you avoid I-85 although there may be construction on I-26. I haven’t been that way in a long time. Asheville is a super fun city. Well worth visiting. It is home to UNC-Asheville which is small and not really Clemson or VT equivalent. The city of Asheville is beautiful, has great food, arts, music, and beer scenes. Great hiking around there too.
