Describe your college in three sentences.

Anderson University is wonderful, the professors and staff are all very qualified, friendly, and personal. The financial aid program makes it very easy to find scholarships and other financial aid options making it an extremely affordable university!

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Anderson is a very affordable school especially considering everything that comes with the price. Classes are enjoyable and personal, dining is high quality, and degree programs are rigorous and prepare students to work in the field. Recently the South Carolina School of the Arts accredited through the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD) has made its home at Anderson University. The art program here is one of the best on the east coast! This university also provides a great atmosphere for these important years of a students life, taking away many great memories and life long friends.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Along the Front Lawn on campus are a number of sets of white swings, these White Swings carry a local legend with them. It never fails that if a student sits with another on the same swing three times, they will end up marrying them. Around Anderson we call this Ring by Spring.
