Freshman: The university of South Carolina is very diverse. The professors are very genuine and passionate about what the teach. The campus is in the heart of South Carolina, Columbia. It gives you the mix of city life in a more southern area. The students are very kind and love to have fun. The athletic teams here work very hard and continue to improve each and every season. The campus has tons of options for affordable housing. I personally find the 650 Lincoln the best. The campus has many food options, from home-cooked food, to establishments such as Chick-fil-a, jersey mikes, Starbucks, and many more options. The student life is great, and very safe. The campus has its own police force, with emergency stations placed all throughout campus. It's known that if you press an emergency station, an officer will be there to help in less than 60 seconds. If you're looking for a diverse, and fun community to learn and grow with, then the University of South Carolina is an amazing place to apply to!... Read 4,550 reviews

Senior: Great place to be for the most part! I came in as a freshman during 2020 and they did the best they could at making the college experience closest to normal. The professors are AMAZING! They truly care about you beyond academics. The people is what has made the past 3 years incredible. Professors, faculty, staff, and the friendships I’ve made have had the biggest impact on my life. I see these relationships continuing even after graduation. Complaints: It’s getting bigger than it’s intended. The facilities cannot accommodate the record breaking growth. AU should consider capping admissions at a certain number to keep it small. Parking is a nightmare. I’m concerned how the environment will change with the football team. I hope this program brings funding to other areas on campus instead of having funding cut from academic programs.... Read 981 reviews

Sophomore: BJU is a really great school! The academics provide a challenge that really makes you feel like you earned your degree. The campus life is great as well. All the students and faculty that you meet just walking around campus are very kind and friendly. The biggest thing for me is the Christian atmosphere at BJU. This school is really helping me grow as a person, academically, socially, and spiritually. The atmosphere of the school, however, (enforced by the rule book) is very conservative so if you have a problem with more traditional-style rules then this isn’t the school for you. The biggest thing I would change about the school is the price. While more affordable than some other college, financial aid is still required. Even with the price being the way it is, still a phenomenal college overall!... Read 1,110 reviews

Junior: I have genuinely almost enjoyed all of my years at this school, it's a beautiful campus and a lot of friendly people! The cafeteria and library are great as well! The only issue I have encountered is some of the professors, they seem that they didn't really care about their students and just wanted to be done and hope that everyone understood. While I know that there's not much that I can technically do about it, it does make me sad that I have run into about 2 professors that didn't care whatsoever. One of them canceled classes very often because he was on vacation midway through the school year, the other would almost shame people for asking questions that were "dumb." However, all of my other professors have been amazing and I'm super happy with this school!... Read 1,022 reviews

Freshman: FMU is genuinely an amazing school. It’s a beautiful campus with fantastic scenery. I am a first year student and can say that I made a wise decision attending FMU. Professors care and push you to be the best that you can be. The faculty here are so caring and concerned about students personal and academic well being. The great thing about FMU is that it offers many resources for success. FMU offers tutoring for most subjects including; math, sciences, or the humanities as well. It’s free! FMU also offers free counseling if you struggle with adjustment, academics, anxiety, depression, or other personal issues. The academics are challenging for sure and it takes a lot of dedication and perseverance. If you don’t care about your academics or think you can get by without working; then FMU is not the place for you. You will not survive here on that attitude.... Read 941 reviews

Senior: Claflin is a very amazing college. The professor really care about your education! I am thankful that I have chosen this college to attend. I would like for the perimeter of the campus to be a lot brighter and safer on campus . The parking lot need more lighting and security to protect students and their vehicles.... Read 1,200 reviews

Sophomore: From my first visit here, I always liked how welcoming everyone is; people here really do go out of their way to be friendly and helpful a lot of the time. Converse also has some great professors! I can't speak much to departments I haven't taken a lot of classes in (such as STEM majors), but I love a lot of the humanities and arts professors; most of them have PhDs in their field and their enthusiasm for their area of study is evident in their teaching styles and interactions with students. Small class sizes are also nice as you actually get to know your classmates and professors (and it's easier to get the help you need). However, there are definitely accessibility issues on campus. Because the university and many of its buildings are very old, not all of them are fully accessible. There is an academic building which students with mobility issues can't get to the top floor of, and at least one dorm building which is completely inaccessible.... Read 624 reviews

Freshman: I'm a freshman at South Carolina State University. So far my experience has been challenging although rewarding. I'm learning to be independent and organized. I was so afraid to leave home, however, SCSU smoothed my transition from home to college and on my way to becoming a young adult. I made the best decision to pursue my Speech Pathology degree at SCSU. I'm in the process of making lifelong friends and creating a successful future for myself. Pursuing my educational career at SCSU is the one thing no one can take away from me. SCUS has taught me to become more vocal about myself. The classes I'm currently taking at SCSU are very rigorous and because of that, I've learned to be more organized and successful at managing my time. With taking courses, trying to manage a social life, and participating in cheerleading have forced me to prioritize my life more carefully. I have no regrets about choosing SCSU as my HBCU of choice. My SCSU experience is great! I'm a BULLDOG for Life... Read 1,018 reviews

Alum: I absolutely loved it here. The people are the best part of coker. It’s not the amazing big school with endless of things to do, but it is a small, family like environment. Everyone knows everyone and the professors and people are so kind and amazing. Coker really is what you make of it. Some people might not like the small town vibe, but if you attend things, you make new friends easily. I really enjoyed all my 4 years here and have made some of the best friends and memories....

Junior: My time at Benedict College was amazing! The campus is so beautiful, and the people there are friendly and welcoming. It's a diverse and inclusive place where everyone feels at home. The professors are really great and understanding, and they make learning enjoyable. The only downside is that my department could use more resources to make things even better. But overall, Benedict College is a lovely institution where I had a wonderful experience.... Read 480 reviews
