I already graduated college, this is for a couple of my friends who are not on college confidential. They will probably elect to go to a different school. They wanted the IB program only at Sc and did like some other schools’ campuses better so this will force them to pick another location. They may go with Elon, they liked that campus the best as of now. Thanks for the input guys!
@Islandgal I know someone in the same situation as your friends. She thought she was in the IB program also! Now they are considering their other options after her parents saw all of this info on this site! It will all work out in the end. My friend wasn’t a big fan of the surrounding area but liked the school/major.
Just an aside. Elon v USC. Apples/oranges. One is small one is big. Really depends what you want. Elon has zero town. Columbia is an amazing college town. Hard to not like it. Suspect your friend didn’t really see the town.
I know my friend and her family didn’t really like the area surrounding the business school either. I’ve never been there personally. Everyone has their own criteria, likes and dislikes. I’m sure SC is a great school.
My daughter is an OOS sophomore accounting major in the business school at USC. Just as a FYI, she never had any intention of going the IB route, but during our orientation and tour the IB requirements were detailed in full and it was very apparent that the program is extremely competitive. As an accounting major, she has been very pleased with her classes/professors and has been presented with numerous opportunities for leadership conferences and internships. She is currently working as an intern at a local company and has had interviews for other positions. As parents, we have been extremely pleased.
Thanks for the input @Buckeyemom85 I’ll pass that on.
