You should spend some more time researching schools if you are going to group ASU and Clemson together - they are vastly different institutions: ASU is 2x the size and Clemson has a much higher ranking. You want to place your child in the best position for them to excel - making sure the school has the program for whatever career they choose to pursue. If you’re just chasing a name brand, you are doing your child a disservice.


You are such a hammerhead .First off those schools were used because they are somewhat a representation of a good ( not near Ivy) academic reputation and one a little lower. Second the size of the school has little to do with the conversation and saying Clemson has a much higher ranking is just ignorant especially when ou go on to say the program they choose is important . Using your evaluation ASU has a much higher ranked business school than Clemson .You obviously either think Clemson is some highly regarded academic school or that ASU is essentially a community college, both those thoughts are just uneducated .[/quote]


And also, since this is a lacrosse board, it's probably worth mentioning that Clemson doesn't even have a lacrosse team....
