University of South Carolina (good or bad)

Re: University of South Carolina (good or bad)

Well if a University has a three lane track, I dont care if it's indoor or outdoor, it still sucks. Therefore they need to improve on those things. I would say it's BAD. I have my reason for saying that. A lot of athletes are going there because Allen Johnson is there and Terrance..oh wait..he went back to ATL. that not a good enough reason to go there..

If we are still talking about the old "Rex Enright Athletic Facility", it was great even back in the sixties when I used to go there for Duke/South Carolina dual meets and the Columbia State-Record Relays. Sure it's even better now.

It's not at all a stretch when you're responding to a guy who twice asked if this was a good school to go too.

Re: University of South Carolina (good or bad)

From a stritcly personal perspective, I don't think the campus is all that bad. It's no Virginia, but how many places are?

Columbia isn't a bad town. It's no Athens or Chapel Hill, but not bad for a southern college town.

The track facility is excellent. I think the 3-lane track you heard about is their "indoor track" which is basically a square wrapped around an indoor football practice facility. Fine for straightaway events, but not for anything longer.

Re: University of South Carolina (good or bad)

Calling the U. of South Carolina a "great school" might be a stretch. I'm a firm believer that any college experience is what the student makes of it but when it comes to the stamp of approval from society on an education I doubt U. of SC is at the top of the list. For major public universities in the South it isn't even at the top of the list (list , in no particular order, would be UVA, UNC, GaTech, UF, and UGA). Nothing wrong with choosing a school for reasons other than educational reputation but let's have some notion of reality when discussing higher education institutions.

Re: University of South Carolina (good or bad)

I went to TCU and during my time we had one of the worst tracks in Division 1...We now have a new one so the athletes now are better prepared I quess...But if USC only has a 3 lane track I'm voting for Mr.C.F as coach of the last two decades...With the results that he has had gotten from both the men and women programs...Damn!!!!!!

Re: University of South Carolina (good or bad)

USC-Columbia is a great school and their track facility is very good. They have a top notch track program and one of the best coaches in Curtis Frye. One of my best friends from Atlanta went there and loved it.

Ok everyone this is my question. Is the USC a good to school to go too. Cuz I have talked with alot of people and they said that the campus sucks and they only have a 3 lane track. So let me know if this is a good or bad school to go too.
