Why Attend A School In South Carolina?



South Carolina's location on the south Atlantic coast of our country uniquely defines much of the character of life in the state. While not among the largest states, its unique placement along the coast and at the foot of the Appalachian chain gives this small state the unique opportunity to have a substantial coastal plain and beautiful mountains bounded within the same state only three-hundred miles apart.

The geography provides substantial variation in topography and climate from coastal plain to the mountainous area of the state. The state's southeastern location assures, even for the western most reaches of the state, mild winters punctuated by occasional snowfall. Because of the climate and geography, the state's citizens enjoy a diverse set of outdoor activities year-round. Mention hobbies of golf, fishing and hunting and you will touch almost everyone in the state. Combined with additional outdoor activities such as horse-back riding, hiking, beachcombing and the spectator opportunities provided by college athletics you will find most citizens enjoying a diverse set of exciting outdoor activities.

The 300+ year history of South Carolina includes strong influences by many different cultures. This cultural diversity has resulted in strong regional identities across the state and sharply defines culinary and cultural interests as well. A large number of museums, diverse festivals and folklore testify to this rich history and diversity.

Blessed with a young, capable work force, attractive climate and a very reasonable cost of living South Carolina has enjoyed, along with other sunbelt states, strong economic development and continues with a forecast of much the same. National and international firms are proud to call South Carolina home. Their presence is a confirmation of the outstanding quality of life and prosperous business environment contained within our state's borders. Attending college in South Carolina
