"I am very satisfied with my time at Limestone. I have attended two colleges, and Limestone was the better of the two schools."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | I would recommend Limestone College, because it is a school for everyone. They offer every academic class schedule that you can imagine, and they are very flexible. |
| Program Reputation | 5 | Limestone is not known for Business Administration. They are nationally acclaimed for music and education. |
| Program Quality | 10 | Limestone College is a great school to attend for Business Administration. They accommodate every student. |
| Instruction | 9 | The entire staff is very caring. Limestone offers adequate training for the accounting profession. |
| How Difficult | 6 | There was a challenge with balancing study time with work. Limestone's professors are strict but fair. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | Limestone has a good balance of both. You could go either route because they are very flexible. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 10 | Limestone is great for scheduling. They offer every class time that you could imagine. |
| Academic Facilities | 6 | Limestone has really put a lot of money into its academic facilities. They are very good when it comes to academic support. |
| Social Life | 6 | School spirit was not high at Limestone. I think that it has something to do with their location. |
| Placement Services | 5 | Limestone has career placement, but I didn't use them. I found my job on my own. |
| Alumni Network | 6 | Limestone doesn't receive as many donations as it should for its size. Limestone has a tremendously large alumni base. |
University Of South Carolina • Columbia, SC

| Would Recommend? | yes | As I said before, the Moore School of Business at the University of South Carolina, Columbia (Main) Campus is one of the best in the country. If you are a South Carolinian you couldn't do better for the money. |
| Program Reputation | 10 | See what I wrote earlier about the Moore Business School. |
| Program Quality | 10 | The University of South Carolina has one of the best Business Schools in the nation. It is called the Moore Business School. It was setup after I graduated but has continued to grow and improve through the years. |
| Instruction | 10 | The professors expected you to know your work. There were no calculators allowed nor did we do accounting by computer. We used double entry accounting by hand written ledger, not a computer program. |
| How Difficult | 8 | If you kept up with your assignments you were ok, but if you didn't there was no way you would have succeeded. The courses required more hours than almost any other major you could study. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | In my time it was strictly book learning. Most schools have changed their attitudes and have gone to a more hands-on approach. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 1 | When I was there you had classes Monday thru Friday. Now you can take classes online and not even attend a class. Yo may have to go in and take the final, though. |
| Academic Facilities | 10 | Moore has excellent facilities. |
| Social Life | 5 | I was there to study and transferred in during my Junior Year. I had spent 2 years at Jacksonville University in Jacksonville, FL playing and partying. I did not live on campus but had an apartment off campus. |
| Placement Services | 5 | When I was at Carolina we had interviews, but not like they have today. You can get just as good of a job with an Associates Degree from one of S.C.'s Technical Education Colleges as you can with a degree from Carolina. |
| Alumni Network | 5 | The alumni network has become computerized and we communicate via internet. I honestly didn't hear from any alumni until the last few years when funds were cut on the state & federal levels and the college needed more private money coming in. |
