South Carolina Colleges and Universities

What are some nice North/South Carolina colleges/universities, that aren't REALLY hard to get in to?

Clemson, College of Charleston, Furman, UNC Chapel Hill, Wake Forest, Appalachian State.

I'm looking into majoring in physical therapy. I've been searching schools but none of them have a program for exactly that, at least thats what I see so far. There are programs about exercise physiology and things like that. Can someone help, will those programs such as exercise physiology get me where I want to go to become a physical therapist or physical therapist assistant?

Schools in SC that are accred in PT. From the APTA website

South Carolina
Medical University of South Carolina (A4, D6, F1, PU)
University of South Carolina - Columbia (A4, D6, F1, PU)

Here is a great link to a career in PT

I'm looking into colleges that have a good writing program. I want to be a journalist, if that helps. I want to go to a college near Charleston, South Carolina or near New York City, New York.

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

In NYC, the best journalism school is Columbia University, followed by NYU. In SC, you've got the College of Charleston, which is a liberal arts school, probably doesn't have a specific journalism program but has a good writing program.

No, to become an in-state student you must live 24/7/365 in the state WITHOUT being in school (and change all your stuff to SC, as well as pay SC taxes) and then petition to the school to change your status. The whole point of in-state tuition is to reward the students who have been paying taxes to that state, thus reap the benefits. If it changed after the first year, there would be no out-of-state students beyond the freshman year.

i want to go to college in north or south carolina, i am not very familiar with those two states though, i was wondering if you could list some colleges that are close to the beach. thanks

Hey! I'm go to the University of South Carolina (the original USC) and am a South Carolina coastal resident. Most of the best Carolina colleges are actually inland such as USC (2-3 hours depending on the beach), Clemson (5 hours), UNC, and Duke. However, if you want to be along the coast:

Coastal Carolina in Conway, SC (20 minutes inland from Myrtle Beach)

several schools in Charleston, SC (College of Charleston (good school, but it is in the bad part of town), Charleston Southern, the Citadel (military college), and I think there is at least one more in charleston.
I also think there is a UNC-Wilmington in NC.

Hope this helps.

P.S. Univesity of South Carolina was named #35 for best value education.

I'm from out of state. I've lived all over the country including the south.

The best colleges in South Carolina are probably Clemson University (large state university in western SC) and the College of Charleston (public liberal arts college near the beach). Other good schools include USCS (state flagship university) and Furman (private) - and the Citidel, of course. And there are a ton of little colleges scattered throughout - Woffard, Converse, Bob Jones, Francis Marion, Coastal Carolina just to name a few.

2.3ish gpa ive got another year to bring it up though.

If you can bring it up a bit, you may actually be able to get into Clemson, University of South Carolina (if not in Columbia, in Aiken or Beaufort or SC Upstate), the Citadel (only if you're into ROTC), or College of Charleston. Also, make sure you're working on getting other things on your résumé to give you a boost. Get close to some professors so you can get good recs.

Furman and Wofford would probably be reach schools, but that doesn't mean don't try if you're interested.

Erskine, Coker, Converse, Lander, Presbyterian College, Francis Marion, SC State, and Columbia College might be worth looking into.

If you're looking for specialty schools, there's the Art Institute of Charleston, the Culinary Institute of Charleston, and the pretty new American College of the Building Arts. Actually, ACBA is really cool. Here's their website: http://www.buildingartscollege.us/

If you're looking for technical schools, there's Strayer, Tridents, ECPI, and Greenville Tech.

Good for you for sticking with school! :)
