Pretty good, if you're talking about Francis Marion University. They went to the D-II World Series this year. Located in Florence, SC a city of about 30,000 about an hour from Myrtle Beach.
yepp thats it, thanks for your input, things from what i hear sound pretty good. i wasnt sure at first with its academics but from taling to a couple people in the medical field its all about what you learn in class, not about the reputation of the school so much
Baseball program is good. Coach Art Inabinet has built a solid program out there in Florence. He doesn't mess around, tough guy who plays by the rules and his tough on his players. My brother actually played baseball for Art back in 2002 - 2003 (I think those were the years). They lost in the regionals to North Florida.
The Peachbelt is a super tough conference. USC Aiken, Francis Marion, Georiga College and State, UNC Pembroke, USC Upstate and Lander.
Good baseball school ... don't know much about the actual school though.

Son is visiting there Fri-Sat. I'll fill you in from first hand.
Son committed to them after visit and will be transferring there for this upcoming season. New baseball facility being built in 09'. Nice smaller but nice campus, field is nice, stands aren't anything special. . . .but when was the last time a player fielded a groundball from the bleachers? Asst. Coach Wilson is great young coach who related well with son. Players are very tight knit group and all made son feel welcome. Program will continue to compete for D2 title. Rumor was that they may be going to D1 in the near future.
