University of South Carolina - Upstate Reviews
It is also a very popular transfer school and I am also a transfer student. The transfer process could use some work, and you will definitely have to put forth some effort to make sure all your credits transfer.
Certain programs like that of my major (chemistry) have some particularly harsh professors who would better be suited retiring. However, aside from that one professor, Upstate is a pretty nice place to come for chemistry since the curriculum is rigorous and most professors do a wonderful job working with their students. There are also some fun and interesting research experiences you can take part in as a STEM major.
