Synopsis

College guides written by students for students.

University of South Carolina Students Tell It Like It Is
So what exactly does it mean to be a Gamecock?

It means living in the heart of South Carolina, in the capital city, surrounded by beaches to the east, mountains to the north, and the countryside a short drive away. The urban setting provides a multitude of internship opportunities and career options so that students can gain knowledge in the classroom and experience in the working world at the same time. Many don't forget the historical value of the college, which just barely survived the destruction of the Civil War and the turmoil of Reconstruction. Being a Gamecock means being part of a legacy of high-quality education that extends back through hundreds of years and continues to this day.

Now that you know a bit about the University of South Carolina, you probably want to know more about the everyday life of a Gamecock. This College Prowler's University of South Carolina's guidebook will provide the answers to many of your questions about life at the University of South Carolina, coming straight from the source-the students. Hopefully it will guide you in making one of the most important decisions of your life. And if you do decide to join the thousands who have already chosen the University of South Carolina, be forewarned-being a Gamecock is not just a four-year experience, it is a lifelong journey.

About this title

About the Author

I m really excited to have had the opportunity to inform people about USC. As a second-year print journalism major, I take advantage of every chance to get experience writing and improve my skills. Authoring this book has allowed me to do all of this while having fun at the same time! Born in Missouri, but raised in the Southeast, USC was a natural choice for me, considering that I live within a half-hour drive from campus. Little did I know then how many amazing people I would meet here, how many fun experiences I would have, and how much I would learn. Going to USC has been a great adventure for me thus far, and I hope that this book will help others make the college choice that is right for them, whether that college is USC or not.

I would like to give a quick thanks to some important people who have provided me with so much love and support. Thank you Mom, Dad, Lori, Michelle, Donna, Steve, Fred, Cotters, Aunt Carmen, the many teachers who have inspired me along the way to work hard to achieve my goals, and the people at College Prowler for making this all possible.

College Prowler is the needed link between students and guidebooks. It's students, writing for future students, about their student experience. It's like having an older sibling that went to the school and is telling you all about it.
