<p>Go to South Carolina. I love Seattle and Columbia, SC is not a place I’d like to spend more than .00005 seconds, but USC is at the very tip top in international business (about its only top program) and you’ll be able to take grad courses there. The UW is NOT known for administrative flexibility. Just the opposite. My wife’s experience there is that they are hidebound by rules and regulations, and don’t make exceptions even when the rules are ridiculous.</p>
<p>I think you’d like Seattle and LOT more than South Carolina. But the education issue seems pretty obvious to me. Go to the University of South Carolina.</p>
