However, there is a lot of natural beauty in SC, you can get to the country and beach fairly quickly (traffic is a non issue), the weather is nicer and it’s much less expensive. Columbia is less hustle bustle of course.

And this is all very true - SC and MA will each offer an entirely different experience. It’s not that one state is necessarily better than the other, it just depends on what you want.
Personally, for me, I wanted my law degree from a school in the NE, which is why I moved from the South; I had a great time living in Boston. But that was over a two decades ago, and as I get older am less tolerant of the winters and more inclined to look for a slower - and more relaxed pace of life.
