    CSU cafeteria is probably the worst ever. The food is terrible and the cafe is only open during certain hours so you can't just go eat whenever you get hungry. There are many restaurants within walking distance of campus, but none technically on campus. Bring lots of snacks!

    The food is delectable, but the options are limited. The cafe does have its days where the student doesn't want to eat the food. The environment is peaceful with the clean facility and home with the big T.V's.

  • Jul-24-2012 I am accepted here and planning to attend soon

    The Strom Thurmond Center holds the cafe and a Java City Cafe that sells coffee, breads and lots more. Downtown Charleston which is minutes away have plenty of restaurants! And less than ten minutes away are outlets with small business restaurants and the greatest Chinese restaurant I've ever been too!

    The Greek Life is not as popular at this school because of the size. However there are Greek sororities and fraternities that you find out during the Greek Week and there is also step shows.
