Learn where the living is easy. Take a deeper

look at the University of South Carolina Beaufort, a

public university nestled in the heart of the Carolina

Sea Islands. The beauty and history of the

Lowcountry will enliven your education, as you

study a Southern writer, seine for shrimp in a tidal

river or analyze the architecture of an ante-bellum

building. Your goal will be a University of South

Carolina degree in the liberal arts, sciences or pro-

fessional programs, but you'll learn in smaller class

settings with engaging faculty, sophisticated tech-

nology and lively, diverse student colleagues. Come

learn with us...where the living is easy.

resources. It’s the time to discover your strengths, to develop as a person,

and to lay the foundation for your career.

your progress and to offer advice and support. Need a little help with your

classes? Our tutoring and academic support services are available to you

as well. Your academic success is of paramount importance.

A great college education may begin with assignments and class work,

but it actually encompasses many learning opportunities. The rich history,

cultural heritage and coastal ecology of the Sea Islands combine with a rap-

idly growing economy to create an ideal learning environment at USCB.

Local organizations and businesses consistently generate undergraduate

research projects and internships in many fields.

Campus LifeFrom a student’s perspective . . . Living on campus: it’s a college thing!

Setting up your room freshman year – cooking with your roommates –

new neighbors turning into friends – going to the beach after class – late

night study sessions – coffee breaks at the cyber café – sunbathing in the

courtyard – using your own laundry machines in your apartment – play-

ing ultimate Frisbee in front of the library – care packages from home –

late night chats with roommates …that’s life in Palmetto Village, our on-

campus apartments.

From a parent’s perspective . . .

By living on campus, your student will budget time more effectively since

classes, the library, and faculty offices are just a short walk away. It’s

easier to participate in extracurricular activities and build friendships.

Research indicates that residential students are more successful in their

college careers and more likely to complete their degrees in a timely

manner. Palmetto Village offers the freedom of apartment living and the

safety of university security 24/7.

Why live on campus at USCB?

and is safe, affordable, and convenient.
