University of South Carolina-Columbia Top Questions

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

Ian

The worst part about this school is the lack of interactivity between the greek community and the non greeks outside of sporting events. There could easily be more school sponsored events to try and include the entire student community. Universities seem to be more focused on their wallets then the overall well being of the students. We're just a source of income to them.

Class availability. It's really hard to get a seat in some necessary classes for my major. Some are only offered once a year.

Breana

The worst thing about my school is the visible separations. One can see that the sorority girl and the non-sorority girls do not hang out with one another, and this extends to people of different race and religion as well. This is horrible because it kind of takes away from the experience of learning and growing while in college. But if you are determined you can find friends that are diverse and interesting...if you look hard enough.

The worst thing about my school would probably be the amount of alcohol related events that go on. The college campus is located right next to five points (downtown area with a lot of bars). Most people spend their tuesdays, thursdays, fridays, and saturdays here or at the greek villiage where fraternities and sororities host parties.

How fast some classes fill up, but students are able to get into classes that they need to in order to graduate on time

I consider the worst thing about my school is the size. Its a fairly large campus so it takes a while to get from one class to the next. It would take some adjusting to get used to it.

The worst thing about USC is the tuition and materials cost. I feel it is tragic that students are forced to borrow thousands of dollars to obtain an education in order to be successful in life. Before getting my first job, I will be in debt in excess of $30,000 based on current tuition prices I have an internship as well as a part time job while in college and still have to get student loans. I graduated in the top 8{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of my high school class and have worked very hard to keep a 3.85 GPA.

There is not enough free parking for students. There are too many parking meters and a lot of the parking garages are far away from the classes. With the cost of tuition there should be more free parking for students.

foreign professors and large lecture halls for the business intro classes

Parking is always a problem. University houseing is constatntly pushing students to live off campus in order to cope with the limited space on campus, which requires students to drive. Students are left with little option other than to pay the enourmously expensive garage parking fees each semester (roughly $300/semester), or to come on campus an 45 mins early in order to find a parking spot and trek to class.
