University of South Carolina

About Me

Intro

You look at me and probably see your average large, Southern university. Sure, I've got the fraternities and sororities, palm trees, cowboy boots and free country concerts. Yes, those are all fantastic and reason enough to come by, but take another look, I'm much more complex than that.

I'm one of the top public universities in both business and psychology. I like to balance my busy social life with schoolwork, and on top of that, I'm located in the great city of Columbia, South Carolina. If you want a well-rounded college experience, why not get it in South Carolina's beautiful capitol? I've lived here for over two hundred years, and have been educating our country's best and brightest for just as long.

Name

Cocky the Gamecock

Hometown

Columbia, South Carolina, also known as Cola or Soda City

Birthdate

1801

Body Type

I have almost 32,000 students and somehow I maintain that small college feel. Maybe it's that friendly Southern vibe that I exude.

Current Living Situation

I've got a little something old, and a little something new. Want to live right next to the president on the historic horseshoe? I can do that. Want to feel like you're living out of an upscale, urban hotel? Got that, too. After a year or two, you'll most likely decide to flee the nest and get your own place either at one of the many student living communities or a house in a nearby neighborhood.

Relationship Status

Clemson and I are not on the best terms. Let's just say we burn a huge wooden mockup of their mascot before we play them in football. It's nothing personal…okay, maybe a little bit.

You should apply to me if...

you want options. I'm big enough that I can be whatever you need me to be, but I'll feel like home as soon as you get here.
