You present yourself as some kind of expert on how employers view universities you didn't attend.

For example, you can't articulate how an engineering program at Georgia Tech is superior to an engineering program at Clemson. How could you know.

UGA only recently started offering engineering programs and it is a small engineering college....why would engineering employers view UGA as superior to Clemson. You can't explain this.

It seems like a lot of the people who assert one university is better than another university attended regional colleges with little name recognition and lower academic stats than the universities being compared.

You didn't attend Clemson and SC though and there is no way for you to know if most employers prefer UGA to SC and Clemson. Why would they favor a business major who went to UGA over one that went to Clemson or SC. That doesn't make any sense.

You act like employers have the US News ranking up on the wall and they consult it when deciding b/t candidates. It doesn't work like that.

A graduate of a college asserting his or her college is better than another is basically a person citing himself. You want to toot your horn....toot toot.

Yes because if I don't validate your baseless opinion, I'm not as informed as you.

It seems like a person who claims to have gone to a superior university would be able to present evidence that employers prefer UGA grads to CLemson and SC grads. Anybody can make an assertion.

Many Clemson grads get accepted into the medical colleges in SC and elsewhere and then go on to earn MDs. How would attending the medical college of UGA be superior to receiving a MD from MUSC or SC. You can't explain this.

Good, just like I don’t value your opinion that Clemson and USC are on par with GT and UGA lol.

It seems like my view is most probable. Programs cover the same subjects and they all have qualified professors.

How are the professors at UGA more qualified than professors at Clemson and SC to teach these subjects.

Clemson hires a lot of professors who went to universities higher ranked than Clemson.

As I've pointed out, there are Clemson graduates all over ATL in the nice areas.

Bro, companies aren’t building high rises right next to Clemson or USC so that they can tap into the engineering talent there. But that’s exactly what’s happening at GT. Nobody is going to agree with you that Clemson or South Carolina are on par.

Companies locate in ATL to be near clients, not a university. ATL is one of the largest cities in the country. Clemson is a small college town.

You probably think the majority of students at Clemson grew up in the local area but students are from all over the state and country and many foreign students as well.


Greenville SC is a major engineering hub in this country and it is 40 minutes from Clemson. Clemson's MBA program is located on Main Street in Greenville and Clemson's automotive engineering research center is located in Greenville.


There's no reason to locate near a university to hire graduates of that university. It is funny to me you think that is how it works. Companies in ATL hire university graduates from all over the country and world.

Anybody can apply to a job.

As I've pointed out, there are a ton of Clemson grads in ATL.

And by 'nobody agrees with me', you mean you and 2 other people on an internet forum, not employers, medical colleges, etc.

Because you don't trust US News rankings ...
