Great school!!! You will definitely learn here!!! You won't go wrong with selecting this school.
Bad reviews
Overall 1.6
The University of South Carolina at Sumter is one I would avoid altogether. The vast majority of professors are apathetic and care very little about their students. The campus classrooms are outdated and new desks (that aren't the wrap around desks) are practically impossible to find. The student body tends to be hostile and closed minded.

REALLY REALLY wish there were higher level classes here and another foreign language option. Classes are limited and sometimes your advisor sucks. Wish there were more opportunities for science degrees here.

Not the greatest school if you are not a science major.
