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 4,573 reviews

Sophomore: The citadel for me is a college that challenged me physically, mentally, and spiritually. This school is for those who want to bring the best out of themselves through hard work, dedication, integrity and perseverance. While attending here, the biggest lesson you learn is to ask your friends for help. In such an artificial stressful environment, you realize you cannot complete this challenge alone. The education varies with what major you go after. The engineering program, computer science and cyber programs, and business programs some of the strongest programs in the south. Overall it's an insanely unique experience if you're willing to go through the stresses of the challenge.... Read 421 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
