<p>I am an incoming freshman at USC in 2014 and I'm wondering what the best dorms are. I am a guy and all the things that I have read have either been for women or are very old. Thanks</p>
<p>You can look on the website for virtual tours of all the dorms. Other than honors (restricted to honors college) the most recently renovated dorms are women’s. This past year USC put men in south tower which is very central. With the housing shortage freshmen are getting in the apartment style dorms - east, west and south quad. These are nicer. Some dorms, like Preston, are only available if you are in the associated living learning community so read up on those.</p>
<p>Also ask in the Univ of South Carolina forum for some student reviews.</p>
