Ohio State v. Clemson for undergrad Business major

My son was recently admitted to the OSU Fisher School of Business and Clemson pre-Business. $7500 merit aid from Clemson and waiting to see if he gets the OSU Buckeye scholarship (32 ACT and HS does not rank). He has visited OSU but hasn’t made it down to Clemson yet. Any thoughts?

How big of a deal is money and which one is cheaper? I believe osu has a much higher ranked business program and he is direct admit which is huge. I would, however, visit Clemson and see which environment he likes more.

We visited Clemson and Ohio State (we are from Columbus-I am alum). They are two completely different schools. College town vs big city, weather, southern feel vs mid-western. I would go visit Clemson. My husband and I fell in love with it but my son decided not to apply at the last minute since they do not have much in co-op for engineering (due to location). Location is another factor. Harder to get to and closesest airport is about 2 hr drive. Hopefully he didn’t let the football game sway his decision;) Good luck!
