there is a lot of stigma attached to the state of alabama, although most of it is unfair. i wouldn't want to have Bama or Auburn on my resume b/c of it.

I put Clemson more in the Oxford/Cambridge category due to the history and tradition (rubbing the rock, running down a hill)

When I think about South Carolina, I think Clemson, Yale, Duke. Not KKK rallies supporting confederate flags at the state capital.

it can't be classifed with those b/c it is not that degree of a ripoff on tuition, although still overpriced.

you forget two things.

first the flag came down. few people seem to care outside of a few ppl who probalby live in the sticks.

second, the flag was not on the state house, it was at a confederate memorial on state house grounds. Flag was taken off by GOP governor like 15 years ago.

i don't think anybody on here does not know CLem is public. y'all have studied up on Clemson no doubt.

y'all say Clemson copied Auburn, then u say Clem is racist school in racist state.

we can then only conclude some things abut Auburn and the state of AL.

But not Clemson. Because it's the Duke of the south. But with a lake.

Clemson is top 10 highest out of state tuition for publics.

why? b/c northeastern kids from rich families love a Clemson, because it is basically a resort next to a lake in the foothills of the mountains. and the weather is good.

Every program cheats, Auburn's just happened to be more public with the best player in football.

Outside of Athens (where we get to play once every 20 years now), Auburn is my favorite road trip

But we get the beautiful Gainesville, Fl experience instead every other year

he proably won with like 70 percent black voters tho.

our senator won with 70 percent white in general, and like 95 percent white in GOP primary.
