University of South Carolina-Columbia Top Questions

There is a very strong identity among USC students/faculty/alumni. This could be because of the importance of sports to the University of South Carolina fans, but regardless there is strong "Gamecock Pride" and that sense of school spirit is very inviting. University organizations also go out of their way to organize really great events for students that surpass events I've heard about at other colleges.

The faculty at the school would be my number one choice for what is best. Despite the school's facilities; campus; and broad scope of curriculum; the faculty truly make the University. My professors have been knowledgeable, challenging, approachable, and foremost - excited about teaching. If a student decides to approach a professor after class, and the class size is 300 students, the teacher will dialogue with the student and answer questions or provide additional resources. Every professor I've meet has made themselves available for additional office hours as well.

I think the best thing about our school is its location. It's located in a "city" area of Columbia...if that makes sense. By that I mean, it's not a boring area of Columbia. There's lots to do, and it's all in walking distance, which is great! The University also has some of the most friendliest people you could ever meet, which is another plus. I just love the school altogether and it's kind of like one huge family.

The best thing about this school has to be the available resources it has to help its students succeed. Also the dining facilities on campus are exquisite. Also University of South Carolina is very involved in keeping this planet green and does a great job of making it easier for its students to recycle. Like I said about the resources though, our library is huge and contains more tutoring, computers, and space than is truly necessary which makes it a great place to do research and study.

The best thing about USC is its well roundedness. You meet all sorts of people with interests as far as the greek system to students conducting their own research, and all the types in between. It wants its students to succeed and the university has tons of resources for the students to take advantage of. There is every type of club and major you can think of on campus and the Honors College provides a more rigorous learning environment for those who want it.

The people- there are people here from all over the world! You get a chance to see and understand a different culture

The best thing about the University of South Carolina is the school spirit displayed by everyone. Regardless of classification, gender, and/or enthnic background there are many organizations and free activities that allow everyone to feel like they are a part of the school, rather than an insignificant being lost in the numbers. The opportunites for school spirit also bring about positive interactions between the different races and cultures that make up Carolina, unity within diversity.
