Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
My teachers do their job well, and if I don't understand, they're more than willing to help outside of class. They've all been really good with communicating. USC is a big school, so there is tons of classes for you to choose from. You learn a lot here, and you can learn what you want. There's also a large variety of teachers. I have friends that will tell me about how their advisor or teacher aren't very helpful, but I've had the opposite. A great way to get a feel for your semester is http://blog.ratemyprofessors.com/.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
USC is a great place to be! The atmosphere is amazing. The people here really emulate Southern Hospitality. We almost always make it a point to be nice and hold the door ope, and if you're lost, the people are nice about helping you. The campus is beautiful here. There are so many gorgeous trees, nice places for you to sit and read a book- in the grass, by the fountain, or most dorms have a nice area outside to relax. And the sporting events. Wow. The atmosphere at games are amazing. Even if you have no idea what's going on, you always have a great time, and feel compelled to cheer along side your fellow Gamecock. If nothing else, we're loyal. Win or Lose, we all love our school.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
USC is a great all-around school. It has anything you could possibly imagine, and more. Plus, if you think we need something else/new, there's committees you can easily go to to request it. Honestly, it's not cheap going here- but it's worth it if you want the full experience.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Join an organization on campus. They're easy to find out about, and there's something for everyone. It's a great way to feel like a part of something and meet people. If you have a problem or need help, never hesitate to ask your teacher- that's why they're there, and that's why they have office hours. It might be a little scary to you, but it's always worth.
Also, there is so many different places to get academic help- take advantage of them. If you can't Pass all of your classes, you're probably not putting enough time or effort into it.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Everyone and anyone. Trust me, you'll find something you'll like. You just have to look around to find your niche and accept help where it's given and ask for it when it's not. Some people leave because they get homesick, but I think those people didn't try hard enough to find the right group.
