Best school Ever
Overall 4.7
I'm a current student at USC Aiken and i really have no complaints. all of the advisors and staff are very helpful.
Overall 4.5
I really enjoy USCA. There are lots of opportunities to get involved and becoming an active on-campus (Greek Life or not). Most professors are very wiling to work with you, and there are always resources that can help you with anything (the math lab, the writing center, on-campus tutors).

Love it here!

USC Aiken is a great school. It feels small and personal but has lots of opportunities to get involved.
Overall 4.5
Great school! The class sizes are small and the teachers get to know you by a name and not by a number. The campus is small so its not a long walk from class to class and the food overall is very good. Definatly recommend anyone and everyone to come to USC Aiken. Wouldnt pick any other college to attend

This school is so boring
Overall 1.1
Should have chosen somewhere else. This school is very boring. Rarely any events happening on campus. People mosty drink and smoke (not cigarettes) around here for entertainment.
Overall 1.2
There is very little to do here. The wifi is very spotty, and the food here is horrible. If you absolutely have to come here because of cost, I recommend that you get the lowest meal plan available and cook yourself. In all honesty, you get what you pay for. If you go for the cheepest school in the state, you get poor quality. NOTHING TO DO HERE
Overall 1.2
Do yourself a favor, don't come here. This school is very boring. I wish I had chosen to go somewhere else. There isn't much to do here, and the classes offered are very limited. And the food… I wish I could give a rating lower than 1. Its very repetitive and has no flavor. The people here are alright. You could do so much better elsewhere.
Overall 1.3
Very boring here, there's noting to do on campus or in the Aiken area. It's like an old retirement town. If I could afford to go to USC I would have gone the second I received the acceptance letter. The people are stand offish and sometimey. It' s everybody for themselves here. I hate it!
Overall 1.7
This school is horrible and extremely boring. Even if you prefer smaller schools, this school is way too small. This school is also VERY racially and ethnically divided. It's like pre-civil rights era, but with cell phones. Don't go here unless you think truly being bored to death will help you with your studies. Choose a different USC campus.
Overall 1.8
This establishment is a mess. The food is bad, the people are close minded, and good luck if you need help from any of the staff. I wasted time and money here as did many of the people that I know. Best of wishes and do your research before attending.
Overall 1.9
Computer science program is absolutely horrible here,
The school isnt funneling money to the right places, the professors in many of the neglected majors are atrocious, not knowing left from right within the field they are assigned.
The food is bad
the location is short of opportunities (aiken sc..)
profs should > buildings when budgeting
its safe
Overall 1.9
What's absolutely lacking at this school is the opportunities. A few majors are coddled, and there should just be more majors. The bathrooms sometimes are absolutely vile, which shows you that a lot of college students are disrespectful and careless. The internet always goes out, which has made my grades lower a bit. Also, not many dietary foods.

Nobody seems outgoing if you don't know where something is.
