A university where people care.
A university where all resources are spent on the current and future success of students.
A university full of fun and learning, where you are a person; not a number.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Come with a open mind, willing to learn and experience new things.
Don't be afraid to join clubs and organizations to get involved in the community.
Both faculty and staff are here to help you succeed, so take advantage of all the resources you can.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The faculty here at USCB are here to make sure that students excel in all aspects of life, but most importantly in the classroom. They effectively challenge students in their classes, and are constantly engaging minds- our school motto.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
With the school only being five years old, the dorms that exist here are absolutely beautiful. unlike most college dormitories, USCB has apartment style housing. This allows for a very comfortable dorm living experience, while at the same time giving students the privacy they desire. Also with the help of helpful building RA's, the are both a fun, academically stimulating, and safe place to reside while attending the college.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
I find USCB to be quite sound in this category. We have a beautiful cafe called the sandbar that offers different varieties of food from Asian cuisine, to Mexican food, salads, pasta, breakfast foods, desserts, and of course good ole burgers and fries. With such a large and tasty array of foods, the Sand Bar caters to both the picky eaters, and those who will eat almost anything.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Being located in Bluffton, SC is absolutely great for college students. It's not too far away from shopping centers and restaurants in the area, as well as the city of Savannah, GA and the beautiful Hilton Head community. Students enjoy going to the beach at almost chance they can, and going shopping at the local Tanger Outlets. In addition there are also nearby bowling alleys and a movie theatre for the students to enjoy as well. Finally the University itself and it's great student life dept put on fantastic events throughout the year to which all the students are invited, and have fun participating in. Things like horseback riding, kayaking, laser tag, sumo wrestling, stand-up comedians, chainsaw jugglers, the list goes on.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
For the great one on one relationship you get with your professors, available resources, great staff, beautiful location, and amazing students to befriend, USCB definitely gives you the most bang for the buck.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Well this may not be unusual to some people, but one of our history professors keeps bee boxes behind the student housing in the woods. i thought this location would be considered pretty unusual seeing how that's not exactly what you would expect to when you come to college, especially from a history professor.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
USCB is great for the student who wants to feel like they are actually a student learning in the classroom being fully engaged by their professor, and not just some sitting on the back row taking notes from a lecture. USCB is great for the student who loves to interact with people in a fun and friendly manner, and doesn't mind getting invalid whether it be just here on campus, or in the community as well. And finally, USCB is for that student who just loves living down south in the welcoming Bluffton community, and enjoys trips to the beach, shopping, eating great food, and just enjoying life.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
USCB is really big on campus clubs and activities, as i mentioned before, we have a great student life staff who really enjoy working amongst the students and making sure they get all they can out of their college experience. Clubs include The Student Government Association (SGA), The Anime Club, Art club, Fitness and intramurals, The Gay-Straight Alliance, Sand Shark Activities Board, Catholic Ministries, Campus Crusade for Christ (CRU), etc. All these great clubs are open to students, and members within each gladly welcome newcomers. The various clubs are always putting different activities and events for students to get involved in, allowing them to relieve some of the stress from academic pressures.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Unfortunately, USCB offers no Greek life at the moment. But, they plan to add this to their amazing resume in the future.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
USCB offers outstanding camps safety, provided by our helpful and experienced DPS officers. DPS is always here. They are available 24hrs a day 365 days a year to make sure that the campus is well looked after, and that students are safe. They even go as far as to give students rides to class in the instance of injury or emergency, and they will even walk a student back from their car to the dorms after hours. The officers here are really and truly here to help the student have a safe and nurturing environment to learn in.
