Review of University of South Carolina Aiken

from Columbia, SC

Describe your college in three sentences.

USC- Aiken is a great, small school to receive your education. It has many opportunities and connections, you just have to make your own and give it your all. Regardless of whether you attend USCA, you will definitely feel welcomed!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Make sure you do your research before committing to USC-Aiken. (any school at that) It has so many different organizations and groups you can choose from, so make sure it has whatever is right for you.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

There are classes that are harder and there are classes that are on the easier side. Once you get closer to classes that are more focused on your major, they WILL start getting tougher. Stay in the books, the library, and stay focused!

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Dorm life is really what you make it. There are no greek- based dorms so we are all one big happy family. There are three building (Pacer Downs,Pacer Commons, and Pacer Crossings) They are all in a row and not very far from campus. Its never uncommon to see groups sitting enjoying the lounges on each floor and the access to computer rooms. The amenities in the dorms are pretty up to date, but if you ever have a problem, the maintenance men are always there to help.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

There are different types of dining options on campus. We have the Cafe. (main dining area) It has a salad bar, a saute area, home style line, line for pizza and different common foods, and a area to make your own sandwiches and wraps. There is The Station if you need to grab something quick and The Market with more home-style options for cooking. We also have a brand new Starbucks on campus which is very popular. If you want to grab something else, there are plenty of other options right off campus.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Sometimes you may have to get a little creative to find what you want to do, but I highly suggest getting involved in at least one group or organizations. This campus is very laid back so you just need to find your niche.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Very laid-back, small school, wanting student. The class rooms are very intimate and personal. The professors will know your name by the third class session.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are a lot of different options of organizations and groups to choose from. There are plenty of people involved on campus, so don't be scared to put yourself out there. The Student Activity Center would even be open to you starting your own!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

We have several different greek fraternities and sororities to choose from. Make sure you do your research on them and love who you choose!

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

The campus is pretty safe. There are emergency stations built all around campus (a mile apart from each) so that if your walking alone after a event or meeting and you start to feel in danger, you can press the emergency button and it will connect you to the police. There is a also police station on campus and you can see them walking around throughout the day. They are all friendly and willing to help!
