University of South Carolina-Columbia Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about University of South Carolina-Columbia? Why?

Evetria

THe University of South Carolina is and was a great school. There was nothing about it I didn't like. It exposes students to different cultures and expansive education. The university continues to grow and puts the money directly where it should go; students and research.

Rachel

It's very crowded in certain places at certain times. You can't always get into events becasue a lot of people are already there and it's full.

Aaron

The worst thing would have to be that "the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing", which means that communication between the offices doesn't happen as often as it should.

Bryson

The worst thing is that there isn't great diversity among students acccording to ethnicity. A greater diversity would make the learning experience better.

Laura

As an incoming freshman, it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the number of students. It can feel difficult to find your niche in campus life unless you become involved with a fraternity or sorrority. There are a number of clubs and interest groups offered on campus but many younger students find these to be intimadating as well.

Sierra

While the University of South Carolina is an oustanding school with hundreds of opportunitites in and outside of education, and I consider myself fortunate to be a student, I am rather frustrated with the number of students who attend and the amount of housing available for these students. Freshmen are required to stay on-campus their first year; while this is not a bad thing, the fact that the freshmen class is bigger than any other class and housing is limited means that other students are not guarunteed housing. In addition, USC doesn't guaruntee off-campus housing.

Mia

The University of South Carolina really is an amazing place to go to school and I can't imagine going anywhere else to earn my undergraduate degree. If I had to pick something to be the worst part about my school I would probably say that it is a Greek-run campus. I love this for myself because I am in a sorority, but for those people who are not affiliated with Greek Life I've heard that it is hard to find a place to fit in on campus (not always but sometimes).

Julie

The worst thing about my school is how far the buildings are spread out.

Sadie

It is really a really spread out campus. It is not enclosed either. There is no set point when you know your on campus or not.

Alexis

The parking situation on campus is difficult. The student parking lots that are cheap are not close to campus. However, the on campus garages have expensive hourly rates or you can buy a yearly pass for around $300 like I did.
