My first year on campus was absolutely amazing! I stayed in South Quad, one of the on-campus living dorms. It had a great location and I could walk anywhere I needed to go. The campus has nice places to hangout with your friends to study, get food, or socialize between classes. Some of the facilities are somewhat old and starting to show their age, but the university is working on updating a lot of the departments. I am very exciting to see how it all turns out in the end. The on-campus amenities are surrounded by unique local shops and restaurants that have been staples to Columbia for decades. From Five Points to The Vista, there is an array of activities for students to participate in. Overall, UofSC is a great place for anyone looking for a quality education with a low country feel!
University of South Carolina has been my home for the last three years. I will say that while there is a mixture of diversity, it is difficult to find a sense of community with peers unless you are a part of greek life. The advisors here try their hardest to be of help, but it does seem as though they are a bit understaffed and can therefore let requests slip under the rug. I think that the professors and academia here are a hit or miss; they are either really good or really bad. Of course, you can always expect to have a good time with the Cocks! The local area and student life is always something to look forward to and partying is a must. It depends on where you live, but safety varies among place to place. Just remember to study hard and spurs up!
As a freshman at UofSC I would highly recommend this university to anyone I know. I'm not saying that just because I am a student here, but because of how amazing the people are, beautiful the campus is, and great the education is. There's so much to get involved in and can really boost your resume! My only reason for not giving the full five stars is because tuition and additional costs wise it is difficult for my family to afford, so I'm hoping to be able to receive help financially.
