JN

The school pride is big at Carolina. From athletics to academics, the University of South Carolina is a great place to be.

Justin

The campus actually feels like a university. Every day, you can feel the hustle and bustle of the students walking en masse, through the campus grounds and shuffling to their classes. The classrooms themselves host a diversified student body. You can tell which people are here to learn, and which people are here to waste their time. I love simply because I can be myself, and I don't get judged for having curiosity and craving knowledge. I can engage in free discussion with my professors, and they are actually interested in what I have to say.

Jordan

I would brag the most about the endless opportunities offered on campus for advisement, career developement and academic assistance. The well being and success of students at USC are a priority for the staff and faculty.

Catherine

The University of South Carolina has a fantastic sports program, and an outstanding array of facilities within which to harbor Gamecock athletic events. Each student's Carolina Card enables him/her free access to all collegiate-level sporting events on campus. As a result of the large student body at the University of South Carolina, there is immense diversity in the types of sports offered at all levels. I personally enjoy the football games most; an almost tangible buzz fills Williams Brice Stadium immediately preceeding kickoff and builds amongst the crowd until the final play of the game.

There is a great selection of classes. No matter what your major is, there is always a great range of courses that allows you to specialize. It also makes choosing elective classes alot more interesting.

Our university created a new student section this season called the "Garnett Army," and we all wear matching garnett, gray, and black army style shirts.

I like to talk about the diversity of events on and off campus. There are always great concerts for any type of music lover as well as terrific restraurants and stores in the downtown areas of Columbia. There are a lot of events that come through because USC is a larger school with a city population than can support great entertainment such as Jim Gaffigan.

USC is all about great, fun experiences while enriching your academic career.

Everything! There's so much here in every aspect. Academics, extra-curricular activities, and more. When I brag, I just bring people here. I know looks aren't everything, but one look at this school and you fall in love. Our gym is phenomenal, our stadium is amazing, and the feel of campus is awesome. Most of all, the free events/activities have to be the best. Our organization, Carolina Productions, conducts wonderful fun, free activities. The best are the free weekend movies in our school theatre.

Shana

The science program and the undergraduate research program - both of which are very good, and staffed by very dedicated people. USC has actually introduced a new course for freshman students with the purpose of introducing them to independent study/research during their freshman year (and not only science research, either - this includes liberal arts/humanities research, as well).
