Univ South Carolina computer science

Hello, my son was accepted to Univ South Carolina with Computer science major. He is coming from oos (Uconn) and has received merit money to bring the cost down to in-state prices. He is waiting for Honors college decision and has expressed interested in warmer climates. Neither program is a Tier 1 program although UConn has a good rep overall. I haven’t found much about the computer science department on-line and am curious if anyone can comment on the department overall?
