Agreed. If it was the Charlotte metro (Ft Mill, Rock Hill, etc) or the Charleston/Mt Pleasant area, I'd say SC in a heartbeat. Columbia is kind of a dump, IMO. No idea where in Mass the other school is, however. |

Boston is 1 hour from Boston in traffic...
I rather go in the south, at least they fake smile more?!?! Umass will be sorta boring imo (also it's 2 hours west) Off topic: why do groups @ restaurants split checks "scientifically" just think to your self: say I had the steak some of that app and a beer $30-$10 and $9 I'm good @ $60- Does it need to be exact? god forbid I'm off by a few bucks It's I pay all or one of my guys pays for all, it's simple, long run it's all square |

I have also lived in Ft. Mill and Rock Hill....and they were nice. Charlotte is decent but traffic is starting to get crazy because of the ongoing road work. As for Southern hospitality.....that is more lower part of the state...and still some upper part of the states although it's disappearing quickly up here!

In Boston is more mixed, white black yellow and green, young and old, each neighborhood is unique, truly a melting pot (some good eaten for sure) BBQ one Saturday, Middle-eastern on Tuesday then Italian seafood on Friday, all a couple miles from each other (Cambridge)
I have friends of all backgrounds, my gay neighbor comes for dinner, he borrows my truck for homedepot things I borrow his gay Mini Cooper when me and Mrs Miller want the beach Boston +1 for diversity! |

At a previous job, I used to travel to Adrian/Tecumseh once a month. I liked it...especially when Delta finally upgraded their section of the airport as that was all my company used.

Taxachusetts. No Thanks. The only thing appealing for me would be the proximity to semi-decent skiing
South Carolina all the way |

Born and lived most of my life in or near Boston, stick with SC.
Amherst is western MA, not exactly 'Boston' by any means (much different than what comes to mind at least when you think of the city). Mt. Idea campus would be much closer to the actual city, but as mentioned in other replies, much more costly. MA is not that great in general, politics here suck, cost of living is outrageous (with taxes increasing all the time), and the people are generally miserable (based on my cynicism you can add me to that list). There are (if you're lucky) ~4 months of decent weather, the rest of the time it's hit or miss, but generally crappy and cold. All that said, Boston itself is a decent city for someone who's young and just looking to experience new things. Job opportunities and career mobility are also better than most places. So take everything I've said with a grain of salt. I've stayed here mostly for family and job, now that my family is moving away I'm likely going to do the same in the near future.

What time of year would you be going for?
Are you single? If so, SC is the obvious answer. |

During snow storms stay inside after the plows clean it up go out central Massachusetts isn't fun, might get a Olive Garden or if your lucky Ruby Tuesday's The restaurants and night life (new casino) is all around Boston (90 miles away) so as a masshole I say SC is best, Amhearst had Marcus Camby and Lou roe but now just has cows, corn and Steven King 30 miles north |
