University of South Carolina-Columbia Top Questions

The best thing about USC is the football games. Everyone has a great time tailgating (early) and its a good time to get to know people. EVERYONE goes. The town shuts down streets to make them "one-way" going to and from the stadium. I love that school spirit is seen not only in the students and staff, but in alumni and people from all over South Carolina. Even a losing season has great tailgates. Fall semester is always better with football games!

The school has a lot to offer a plethora of different people and backgrounds. There are a broad range of studies.

I would have to say the variety of people you meet. I have friends from all over the country, and they have opened my eyes to a lot of new things (ex food, sayings, family traditions, study habits!). I come from a small midwestern town, so being at a large school with people from all different backgrounds has really helped me grow and learn.

I consider the best thing about my school is the school spirit. At the University of South Carolina, everyone comes together and is connected in support of our school. I feel like we are a whole instead of individuals when we talk about or cheer for our school.

I love being able to walk to all of my classes. The campus is nice. Walking allows students to save gas and get in a little excercise.

The best thing about USC is the student population. I have never met a group of people so friendly and so willing to get to know you. I have made some of my best friends here and I know they are friends who I will have for a lifetime.

The opportunities that I have when I get my degree.

The social atmosphere and the school spirit. Everyone is proud to be a Gamecock and everyone likes having a good time, all the time.

Besides the gorgeous weather, I really love that the professors challenge us to think deeper than just memorization. I think it's important to have practical knowledge and to be able to incorporate the lessons into our future carreers.

The big school spirit and the fact that you can take a class with 15 people.
