Does anyone have advice on how I can guide my daughter? She is TORN between South Carolina’s Capstone Program and NC State. She is basically an “exploratory” major who is interested in PR, Sports Science/Management, possibly Communications - overall exploratory for now. SC offered her scholarship money and Capstone. NC State is our state school. Not sure what will be best for her in the long run! Please share any opinions. Thanks!
Does she need to maintain a specific GPA to keep that scholarship? Will that university be affordable for your family if she loses it? Which of these is easier to get to and from in a hurry if there is an other surprise shut-down and you need to go fetch her and all her stuff?
USC is an hour and a half - while NC State is just under three hours. So both are drivable. I think she can maintain the 3.0 needed to keep the status, and the scholarship - but yes, that is a good point. She definitely needs to keep it going! I am just wondering if NC State’s Communication offerings are as robust as USCs…which are very good. It seems harder to find the same offerings at NCState.
USC is in the SEC if she’s interested in sports management. Might be a plus. Also, their business school is well regarded if she wants to take any business classes.
