    Its a semi small school so you will be able to have that one on one connection with your instructor. Also the food is extraordinary, many different varieties are available.

    USC Aiken prides it self on being a rather inexpensive school. They also offer many things so that students get the bang for the buck. We have tutoring for class that you take on campus. We also offer student help with resumes and things for finding a job after graduation. Another great opportunity USC Aiken bring is that for most majors they allow you an internship. These are actual places that you get to go in Aiken County and see what it would be like to do that job. It also allows you great on site training. These opportunities for larger universities can sometimes be hard to come by but everyone of USC Aiken's students has been known to make great connections.

    The school is a very good deal. The tuition is under 10,000 dollars a year even. It is like getting a quality education for a discount price.
