2 SC public colleges gave opposite tuition decisions to the same dad, costing him $27,500
COLUMBIA — In a state where lawmakers have put a priority on keeping tuition steady for South Carolina graduates, students from outside the Palmetto State pay two to three times more to attend a public college here.Determining who qualifies as a South Carolinian can be complicated in one of the nation’s fastest-growing states. While state law governs who pays in-state tuition rates, each college decides whether an applicant meets them.

Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.
