University of South Carolina-Upstate Top Questions

The worst thing about my school is that I love photography and have started my own business for photography and retouching, but there is not much offered at USCU for photography. They do not even have a photography minor. Although I know a good bit about photography already, I would love to learn as much as I can, and this school doesn't have that benefit.

Absolute lack of organization, planning and cohesion - at least of the nursing program. Instructors don't seem to know what is going on when and necessary information about significant events is often not available until the last minute. For example: nursing students must take the HESI to go on to 2nd semester clinicals, but no information was available until less than a month before the exam was scheduled and the location and time of the exam was not known until less than a week before it was scheduled to be taken. And this has been endemic from the start.

The parking situation as they attempt to accomidate to the expansion of students.

The worst thing about my school is the class availability. I feel that sometimes it is almost impossible to get the classes you need. This is not necessarily true for major courses, but I have been there for two years now, and I still need some of my basic courses. There is a large student body and sometimes there are not enough classes for the students.
