A “Best College Town” in the Nation

Columbia, South Carolina was recognized as one of the “10 Best College Towns” for two years in a row.

In the heart of South Carolina lies the capital and one of the south’s most charming cities: Columbia. "Soda City," as it's known, has become a vibrant meld of old and new. You can sample some signature barbecue or pimento cheese while you visit the many historic landmarks around the downtown area. For outdoor enthusiasts, Columbia is brimming with natural beauty—lakes, rivers and national parks surround the city and provide ample opportunity for those craving a bit of adventure. But the most prominent and possibly loudest attraction (during a football game anyway) is the University of South Carolina. The school and its students bring the city to life.

Student Life

More than 400 student organizations on campus make it easy to make a difference in your community or around the world. So, pursue your passions, share your talents, and if you don’t find the perfect group, UofSC will help you start your own.

Student Testimonial

Risa, Japan

International Business and Marketing

“In Japan, a curriculum is created for you, and you need to follow the classes. I really like how you can choose classes yourself, depending on what kind of career you want. That’s why I chose to come back to the U.S. for college.

One of the biggest differences between here and Japan is that here in the U.S. there are so many different people from different backgrounds and different races in the United States. It's amazing- now I have a friend from the UAE, and my very first friend, Hriday, is from India.”

Student Testimonial

Hriday, Inda

Integrated Information Technology

“I remember back in India, we cannot call our professors by their names, but here we can do that- so small, small things changed a lot for me. You meet hundreds of people every day just by going to your classes.” - Hriday from India, Integrated Information Technology Student
