University of South Carolina-Columbia Top Questions

I wish I knew how much work I would have ahead of me. I also wish I knew about all of the great things that I would go on to do as a music major, researcher, and a leader.

I wish that I had been better prepared for the way that some classes are set up.

Out of all the frustrations and problems I have come across, I would say that I wish I had known about the Palmetto Fellows scholarship enhancement before I signed up for classes; I wish I had known about more scholarship and financial aid opportunities; and I just wish I had the experience to know how to pay for everything I am being constantly billed for (and I wish someone would explain how to avoid certain charges before I had accidentally incurred them).

I wish I had known about all the opportunites I had in high school to shorten the time I will have to spend in college such as more AP classes than I was already enrolled in.

I wish I had known how popular Greek life was and how much of an influence it has on the nightlife. I was told that 20{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the student body was Greek but I honestly feel like it's much more than that. I think that rushing a sorority in the Fall would have helped me make more friends faster and be in the know about nightlife events. Especially because I am shy, I think a sorority would have helped me be more outgoing. Had I known this, I probably would have rushed this year.

How sports influenced everyone is.

I wish I had known how big the campus was. Additionally, I would have like to known about when I should have taken classes.

I wish I had known what an easy transition it would be coming into college so that I wouldn't have worried so much. There are so many resoruces avaiale to help students with anything they need and so many easy ways to get involved and meet new people, it is almost effortless. I was a bit unprepared for how hot it was and how much walking I would be doing, but I got used to it quickly. All the walking definitely paid off once I discovered the delicious buffet on the bottom floor of my residence hall.

that it isnt the only time girls can rush sororities. I was told that if i ever wanted to join a sorority, I had to rush the beginning of my first semester. I wish that someone had told me different so i would have had the chance to get used to living on my own and being in college without the extra obligations a sorority brings

That you should carry a campus map or you will get lost easily.
