The academics here are challenging, and although the campus is huge and it may seem like professors do not care about your success, that is not true. I've found by talking with my professors and getting one on one help during their office hours that they really do care about your success in their class and at the university as a whole.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I LOVE the University of SC!! When you are not studying and doing homework there are so many things to do and so many friends to make! The beautiful campus is an added bonus.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I never realized until I came to the university how much you get for your money. There is tutoring help and the library is open 24/7. Also included in your tution are visits to the student health center, so there is no excuse not to go when you are sick!! There are always free things to do on campus when you don't have a lot of money to go out. The Russell House theater plays 2 movies Thursday through Sunday. Also, if you get involved in an organization (which you should! there are over 300 organizations to get involved in!) they are always hosting free events for students.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Schedule classes earlier during the day so you will be more than likely to go! I'm not saying to take all 8 o'clock classes, but the sooner in the day you go to class, the sooner you are done. Also, make sure to get a planner! There are so many assignments to keep up with. Labs for certain classes are also scheduled at a different time than lecture, so it can be easy to forget to go.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
The University is great for all types of students because there is a great deal of diversity here. Also, I was born completely in the middle of nowhere and coming to the city was a big deal for me. Once I got here, I was surprised how quickly I adjusted.
