Giona - 01/27/2022

Personally, I really enjoyed my experience going to the University of South Carolina in Sumter. Classes are small in size and professors are very straight forward. Every professor I've had is very friendly and is willing to help students if it is needed. The professors are also quite nice with working around work schedules if needed as week not bad experience especially as a starter college. A little downside though to the campus of USC- Sumter is the location. It also does not have any dorms or housing as the campus operates more like a community college.

Austin - 08/01/2019

The University of South Carolina at Sumter is a very respectable branch campus of the main campus of the University of South Carolina at Columbia. The college provides very accredited academics as well as athletics and clubs. The Student Life administration does their part every day on campus to make students feel welcomed to the county of Sumter, whether it is their home county or not. All faces of administration on campus are welcoming and willing to assist students of all backgrounds in any situation.

USC Sumter is a great beginner school for local students. It’s great because many students want that university experience but don’t wanr to stay on campus. Although, classes may be bigger; teachers still have open office hours. I love the fact that the school gives you the chance to have some classes offered on base as welll as online. Overall this school gets a great rating for me despite the 30 min drive. I recommend the teachers and the university they rock!
