[Heel n Toe]

I know someone who went there. As far as I know, it's an excellent school, but like any school, you only get out of it what you put into it. This guy didn't put maximum effort into it. He would leave town and come back here for the weekend every chance he got. He weathered a couple of the many hurricanes that hit during the time he was there, then would leave in advance of the others. I think it was '04-'05.

I think his old man paid $30-40K for the 14-month course of study. He (the guy) consulted me on whether I thought he should go there or a state-supported university here.

He had always thought he wanted to be involved in the film industry, so I told him to go for it. As he came up on graduation, I encouraged him to meet with some of his favorite profs and get their advice and help on job placement... ideas for where he could go to get his foot in the door.

He wimped out when he realized it would probably mean moving to NY or CA and being away from his friends here. So me moved back to town and is working two or three jobs to pay his way through the University of SC... his dad would have paid for that if he had decided to go that way from the beginning, but now he's humpin' it himself.
