Make college relevant not a resort vacation

Ed Leap:

My oldest son is now a high school senior. Therefore, we have been looking at college options in South Carolina.

He is a born and bred South Carolinian who doesn't really want to leave his home state. He has a sense of family, and a sense of place.

I have made several observations while reading brochures, comparing prices and traveling to different locales in the search for the right school for him to attend. First, this is a beautiful state with some magnificent centers of learning. I had no idea how many majors there are now, how many opportunities to study abroad, how many honors colleges and possible career paths! When I was in school it was, you know, wheel-making and Mammoth studies. But I digress.
