Student/Alumnus Reviews of Schools for This Career and State
University Of South Carolina • Columbia, SC
Studying Sports Management (completion in 2010)

"I was satisfied with all of the people that I was able to meet. The crime in the city is very bad, and the schooling almost helped me a little bit as far as intelligence."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | Please make sure that you take your internships seriously. |
| Program Reputation | 8 | It's got a good rapport among students because they all know how much of a joke it really is. You can party all week long without studying and still make good grades. |
| Program Quality | 5 | The classes and professors at the school were good since they have experience in the field. They failed to inform me on how the economy would effect my choice of degree, however. |
| Instruction | 6 | I gave it an above average rating since I liked some of my professors. Some teachers were either too slack or didn't seem to care, but others actually were passionate. |
| How Difficult | 1 | I hardly had to study at all for any of my coursework. The material was not challenging at all to me and without studying I still kept my scholarships and a 3+ GPA. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | Most of the work that you do in this major can be learned by anyone. You could get the book, not go to any classes, get a syllabus and know what chapters you will be tested on, study the book and you'll pass. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 10 | If you do things right your first year and become accustomed to your advisor and what courses you will need, then you should be able to have a good schedule. There are numerous classes on different topics, and if you put in the effort to enroll early, you can have it made. |
| Academic Facilities | 10 | Our library is the biggest one in the state of South Carolina and the people who work there are extremely nice and willing to help. Professors are very accessible but it is up to you to get out there and make the effort to talk to them. |
| Social Life | 8 | This would get an extremely good rating if it weren't for all of the frats who made me feel judged. There is this aura in the air of money and if you don't have any, please prepare to be spat on. People at this school are very judgmental, and even though I'm from the south, I hate everything to do with them. I ended up meeting some northerners who weren't so judgmental my junior year, and they made my college experience amazing. Southern frats and sororities are the reason people are judged at this school, but in the end these people are the ones who look bad. |
| Placement Services | 8 | The job placement and career services are very willing to help. But if you choose an easy major, things will be tough. It's hard for them to locate work for sport management majors, so I can't really judge the people running the programs. |
| Alumni Network | 4 | They never instructed us on how to connect with our alumni. I may have given it a better rating if they had instructed us on how to do so. |
