There is a wide range of classes available at the University of South Carolina. From various business classes, to languages, to music class (one about the beatles!), to whatever you want. The University has a wide range of majors, and is ranked number one for its program in International Business. The school has MANY connections for study abroad, and helps you find scholarships to do it. Even though there are 20,000+ students here, the class sizes are small providing for a good relationship with your teacher. My English class has 15 people in it! That is less than my class in High school. There are so many opportunities here, and many pre-professional programs to dig your heels into. With a student success center like ours, with free tutoring and many more resources there's no reason you should fear failing a class!
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
University of South Carolina has a state of the art fitness center that is extremely nice and includes a 40+ft. rock climbing wall! Even if you don't work out (like me), you can still go hang by the pool on the weekends to study or just spend time with your friends.
There are about 26 dining facilities on campus providing for a wide range of food choices. The food here never gets boring for me! Football is amazing, especially with our recent win over bama and attending this school means free student tickets (GREAT seats).
With so many events in Columbia, for example the state fair, there will never be a dull weekend here. Also, five points is walking distance from the campus to provide for more fun filled weekends!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
College is expensive, everyone knows that. There are tons of scholarships available here. If you are out-of-state and you receive an academic scholarship (credentials on the school website) you will receive in state tuition. Now you can't tell me that's not a good deal! that provides for a very diverse environment here. There are 300+ student organizations and it is super easy to get involved. Not only is there an on campus bookstore at the Russel House for easy book purchase, there is a cheaper one off campus that is less than a quarter of a mile from the on campus bookstore! Very convenient!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
There are a lot of fun things to do here in Columbia, but save it for the weekends! Focus on your studies during the week. Remember the real reason you came to college!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
