The Harvard of the South. An amazing school that rears even more amazing members of society. I would send my children here 100 times over if I could. The best school in the south for the past 200 years.

Wofford used to be a great party school but Biggers has put an end to that. Nothing else to do in Spartanburg so just hang around campus.
