More or Less Satisfied
I am in the College of Education and I have been somewhat satisfied with my experience thus far. Some of my professors are not up to the caliber that I would expect of collegiate professors. For example, one of my "professors" is a retired librarian and this is her first time ever teaching anything, let alone a college course. However, I do have some extremely good and competent professors. All of my education professors are, or have done, research in the field that the course is about. They really care about the subject and they want you to learn the material and succeed.

Parking Is a Nightmare
I am not discouraging attending the university, but if you expect to be able to drive easily to class and find a spot in two seconds, you are sorely mistaken. If you can find a parking spot, it is insanely expensive and there is only a 2 hour limit, so if you have a lab, you will be screwed.

Bus, Train, Automobile
No, there isn't really a train to ride on campus. There is a shuttle that has 3 or 4 different routes on campus and they usually make stops every 5 minutes. Cars are not a necessity, but if you live off campus its best to have one. Many apartments do have shuttles that drive to campus but they only make stops in the middle of campus. All shuttles are free.

South Carolina Weather
South Carolina's weather can be very unpredicable. When it rains, it is miserable on campus. There are puddles everywhere! It sometimes gets really cold, but it rarely ever snows and if it does, classes are camceled. The humid heat from August to October and from April to finals is terrible. But, as the saying goes, if you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen!
