Review of University of South Carolina-Upstate

from Florence, SC

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

Academically, I have learned so much this semester. All of my courses were fairly hard, and I anticipated the challenge. I believe a firm education is based resisting the urge to take easy courses.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Joining different organizations really helped me meet different people on campus. These people have become my best friends in such a short time. I've really formed a small family and a home away from home.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

I received a healthy amount of financial aid from the university, excluding my academic scholarships. Upstate is definitely worth every penny. I know that I'll leave this institution with professional connects/resources and a useful degree, which will carry me in to my future career.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

I encourage all freshman planning to attend Upstate to become active in student life. Join at least two or three organizations and be completely devoted. Also, remember to stay focused on academics. Its easy to become distracted with friends and events. At the end of the semester your GPA matters the most.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

If you enjoys to school that isn't too large or too small, this university is perfect for you.
