University of South Carolina-Columbia Top Questions

Sometimes the advisors get a little busy and you have to make sure they get everything right. If you don't like big classes, then it may not be for you but it really depends on your major.

The worst thing about the school is the parking services because there is not enough places to park because it is in a city.

It seems like the only thing people want to do is drink and they don't care who is around them. If you aren't in a frat/sorority, there isn't really much social scene...I don't drink because I'm working and trying to make the grades!

The Economics professors have been less than impressive so far.

Since it's in the South there are some people who come from very conservative households and are very closed minded about some issues. This is the main thing that I don't lke about the school because some of the comments these people make about every day things could be very offensive to some people.

I would say the worst thing about my school would be the size of some of the larger classes, but it is managed well with TA's and SI sessions.

Books, they are so expensive and when you sell them back you barely get any money back for them and then they go and seel them again. It seems like a huge money making scheme but everything at school is still extremely expensive so it must not be working and i dont understand why.

Food options; meal plan is not flexible at all and overpriced

we are a very competitive in sports and can get out of hand when around people and players of the other teams.

The worst part about this school is the status of some of the facilities around campus. The library feels like a dungeon, finding parking on campus is a nightmare, and some of the buildings are ancient. Everything is clean, but the campus does not feel as modern as a large public school should in terms of facilities available.

freshman dorms are pretty old and dirty

The worst thing about my school is the availablility of parking and the fact that we don't have a wide variety of dining facilities.

They could do a better job at updating their computers and other technology resources. They also have have a bit of a problem with making sure there are enough classes for the people who need them.

I would say religion. There are a variety of different religions on campus and some people do not how to approach them.

I honestly do not know what the "worst" thing about USC is. I love the school, the students, the atmosphere, the city, the social life, my classes. I am very satisifed here. I am in need of financial AID and I have had a very hard time getting help with that- so I guess the "worst" thing about USC is the lack of help in the administrative offices.

That there is a great number of people here. It's great because you meet people from everywhere, but housing, parking, classes, and other amenities become limited. The amount of racial diversity becomes more apparent, but it isn't terrible.

Hmm..The worse thing would probably have to be parking and congestion because even though there are many places to park, there just isn't enough room for students, like myself, who commute.

I consider the sororities and fraternities to be the worst thing about our school. If you are not in one, you get treated differently and looked down upon.

The worst thing about my school is probably the parking situation for those who live off campus. So many students attend USC that it's almost impossible to find a parking spot if you dont have a parking permit.

By far, the worst thing about the University of South Carolina is the parking situation. Paying 300 dollars a semester to keep my car parked in a safe place that's close to me doesn't neccessarily make me a happy camper.

The worst thing about USC is the strong emphasis on greek life. Its a great way for people to network and party , and its a true southern tradition, but it really segregates the school into those who are greek and those who aren't.
