University of South Carolina-Upstate Top Questions

There's no guarantee that the people you start your freshman year with will be there with you all four years- or even after the first year. Don't be afraid to branch out and get to know as many people as you can.

I wish that I had known how living off campus was going to affect my social circle. If you are looking to make a lot of friends, it is best to live on campus.

I wish I knew more about scholarships and grants available through this school. Some of the costs I was not fully aware of.

That you need to take 15 credit hours a semester in order to graduate in four years. Also, to apply for scholarships year-round; they really do help.

Something that I wish I had known about this school was how small it was. On open house there was a lot of people socializing but when you actually go to the school you don't normally see any socializing.

NA, Have not started at this university.

I wish that i would have known how to manage my time more and always get ahead of class and read the readings before the next class.

I wish i knew that it was going to be hard to get a job on campus and off because i would have went to a university that was 20 minutes away from where i lived and stayed at home and had me a part-time job.

I wish I had known that scholarships were available to non-traditional students and that you didn't have to get student loans.
