I love it at UofSC! There are a lot of programs to promote fitness so plenty of opportunities to exercise and stay active. Campus is big and pretty, there are a ton of food choices, and there are clubs available for just about any area of interest. The professors are nice, reasonable, accessible and want to actually help you succeed. The school spirit is great too, win or lose at sporting events. Football games are especially fun; large, loud and entertaining. The one thing I would change right now would be the Covid restrictions. They are stringent and therefore there are no student events happening, and intramural sports are quite limited.
The University of South Carolina has always been a top ranked school for me. Being that I am 22 years of age and a South Carolina Native in the City of Columbia, I've always been interested into going to college at the university. Constantly hearing about their programs and events from the sports down to the choir, tales has always had a positive imaged attached. Hearing the stadium roar all my life had me determined that whatever it was I was going to school for it was going to be here. Through my entire life Art was big thing, a Thing I loved and had passion for. I entered contest everywhere I could the State Fair was the first one I take part in but was outdrawn which is point in my life where my passion grew to determination. From that point I got my hands into every artistic thing I could express myself in unknowingly that it would bring me to Graphic Designer and even being a Artist/Producer today. My path hasn't changed as far as Art and where I want to take it, it only grew!
The University of South Carolina has exceeded my expectations greatly. I am a recent graduate of the University and I could not have asked for a better four years. Personally, I went through an extremely tough time during my time as a student being diagnosed with Lyme Disease. The university went above and beyond to make sure I would graduate on time and ensured that I was okay both physically and mentally. Having an amazing staff help me during a difficult time was everything. Besides that, the overall experience was amazing. The university does everything they can to truly make the four years of undergraduate, the best. Though the dining halls and parking could be better, so many other positives outweigh the food halls and congested parking lots. At the end of the day, I could never have asked for a different experience or school and I highly recommend the University of South Carolina to anyone. Go Gamecocks!
