What Students Are Saying

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!
Angel from Sumter, SC
the food isn't bad, but it can be a bit expensive for commuter students.

Needs improvement.
Heather from Blackstock, SC
The food is ok. It gets old fast. Every Wednesday that we was chapel, it is fried chicken day.
