Sophomore: I enjoyed the small class size, which allowed every student to easily access the office hours of a professor instead of frequently depending on the Teacher's Assistant. I also enjoyed the variety of extracurricular activities in the clubs and intramural sports, particularly, fencing, where I learned the basics of the sport and I was able to maintain the footwork and some techniques that I learned from kickboxing and boxing. However, I would love to see a major change in the night-time aesthetics. It is pitch black at night, with only a few blue towers with a red emergency button. This, along with he fact that the campus is open and has not fences, makes Winthrop a bit insecure at night for someone walking out of night classes, clubs, or meetings with friends. My suggestion would be to install more lights and to add more of those blue towers with emergency buttons. But overall, my experience at Winthrop University was extraordinary!... Read 1,677 reviews

Sophomore: During my (currently) short time at piedmont, the professors and staff have been of great assistance. I am taking online courses and getting support is moderately fast and helpful. Any services I have needed have more or less been resolved in 2-3 days. Although the majority is good, one thing that I wish Piedmont had as well as many schools in SC is a more diverse set of majors. While the provided majors offer more than ample opportunity to succeed, having more interesting fields outside of the norm would generate more traction in my opinion. As I have been a solely online student I cannot certain of the exact living environment of the Piedmont campus such as the housing, food, and student interaction. But based on the multiple posts of on-campus activities and health and safety warnings on the Piedmont website, I can say that I would feel pretty safe going to in-person classes....

Sophomore: Horry-Georgetown Technical College is perfect for studying a specific subject you are passionate about pursuing professionally or just gaining your standard academic credits (English, Math, Science, Social Studies, History, etc.) to transfer them to a 4-year university. The academics here are great and the courses are quite flexible in terms of times of day and campus, whether that be in Georgetown, Myrtle Beach, Conway, or online. There is also a decent amount of diversity, and the prices are the best I've seen in the education world. If I could change anything about the college, I would increase student engagement, but Phi Theta Kappa is currently working on a student lounge to promote that! I love that the college president is always willing to listen to students and make adjustments to the college in order to make it a better experience for everyone.... Read 587 reviews

Other: I love attending Trident Technical College. This college has the resources needed for every student to become successful in the career path of their choice. Just a few years ago, I wanted to make a career change from the food and beverage to construction. While I was taking classes on the construction industry working towards my construction management certification, I got the confidence and assist from Trident Tech to better equipment me for searching, applying, interviewing, and negotiating with employers to become successful in my field. I have been in construction for over 2 years and I enjoy it.... Read 927 reviews

Senior: I am currently a dual enrollment student for York Technical College. I enjoy the wide variety of classes that are offered. Before applying, I only heard of how it was a great college for my major(nursing), nothing more. I expected my classes to possibly be difficult but they were actually easy and positively challenging. I genuinely have enjoyed and learned from my current school experience while taking these classes. Something I would change is their ability to offer more school-related scholarships on their website. This is due to the fact that I usually see little to no scholarship opportunities on their school website.... Read 351 reviews

Freshman: During my first year at Tri-County Technical College, I was surrounded by students and staff with a can-do attitude and a willingness to help others. The broadcasted and available support throughout the campus makes the students feel like they are not alone through their college journey, whether they are freshmen or seniors. Something that I enjoyed and made a difference in my academic career was the Student Success Center. There were many resources that were available in the center that could help with not only studying but for extra help if needed. Some of the resources that were available included; tutoring services, private study rooms, and the writing center. Something that I would like to see change is the hours of the campus store. The store closes at five-thirty. This closing time can be difficult for some students due to the times that their classes get out. A way that this could be altered is to have it close with the rest of the resources at the Student Success Center.... Read 480 reviews
