Best University of South Carolina dorms

For a freshman apartment style dorm, I loved living there! The rooms are small with minimal storage, but the personal closets make up for it. I loved the layout of my room and having my own space was a must my freshman year. I shared a bathroom with one other girl and it worked perfectly with no issues. The living room is fairly small, but big enough for the 4 people that can live in the apartment.

As far as location goes, it is at the bottom of a hill and on outskirts of campus closer to the engineering school. So it is a bit of a hike to get anywhere on campus such as Russell House or especially Close Hipp or Capstone. Once I figured out the shuttle system I was able to make it to my 8:30 AM class in Gambrell without having to hike to class.

Overall, for anyone wanting their own room with a shared bathroom I highly recommend Green Quad. It's a great freshman dorm, however if you are looking to make friends with the people on your floor and not just your roommates it is probably not the best dorm for you as everyone sticks to themselves and their roommates. - 2 years ago

Living in the Honors Residence Hall as a freshman was a great decision! The location is unbeatable: it's a 5 minute walk to Darla, 7 minute walk to the Horseshoe, and a 12 minute walk to Gambrell. Having a dining hall and a coffee shop in the bottom of the building is also very convenient if you need a quick bite before class. The rooms and bathrooms are decent and upkept. Honestly no complaints. - 2 years ago

Probably the best quad to live in, at least from what I've seen. It does the job and is especially nice having your own room. - 1 year ago

I loved living in Patterson. The location is very convenient to get to Russell House, the library, and all the class buildings. It is also very nice to have a parking garage so close if you are planning to bring your car. Compared to most of my friends' dorm rooms, Patterson was very clean, modern, and spacious. It is also very nice to have your own bathroom suite-style rather than a hall bathroom. - 2 years ago

It was a wonderful experience and had great staff! Perfect location and is in the center of everything on campus. 10/10 recommend! - 2 years ago
