Education
Chartered in 1892, The Horseshoe (on Sumter St) was the original campus and is still the heart of what has become a sprawling "city within a city". From The Hub on Main St to the baseball field on the Congaree River to the basketball courts at CLA and out to Williams-Brice Stadium and all in between, there is plenty to see and do at USC. Throw in those pesky classes and you have a great college experience. Ask me how I know.
