UofSC Honors College and Top Scholars Class of 2025

Thank you. My daughter was accepted in December but we were told the honors and final scholarship decisions would be coming later

So, are we thinking sometime tomorrow? Or has someone heard otherwise?

For HC decisions

I donā€™t know if theyā€™ll be in the office on Presidentā€™s Day, plus with most of the country under winter weather advisories, they may be closed.

I think they will be released tomorrow (but Iā€™ve been wrong before). Housing application goes live tomorrow, so the school considers it a work day.

Good point! Does anyone here know if a dorm has an LLC in it, is that the only option for that dorm? For example, I know that Patterson is all for the Health Fellows, but with East Hall having Innovation and Entrepreneurship, does everyone have to be accepted into that LLC to live there?

I think thatā€™s what they said on the Housing Facebook event. If LLC, then its everybody in that dorm. Otherwise, choose Carolina General. I think they have the answer posted on the Facebook Housing event from last week.

Monday is a holiday at UofSC. No classes. Soā€¦

Not necessarily. At least not this year.

Would your student want to give up honors housing if they are admitted into honors college?

Wait so are decisions coming out today for honors?

Yes this is what Housing confirmed on my phone call today. The buildings designated as LLC are only for students accepted into the LLC.

As the student, I would not want to give up Honors Housing given the information Iā€™ve received about it

Can you share some of that information? My daughter is accepted to Honors but sheā€™s still considering whether or not to live in the Honors dorm.

Has she visited the campus? I have a son who is a freshman (not HC) there and also a daughter who was admitted to HC in Dec.

Thereā€™s no way my daughter would consider living in a dorm other than HC dorm. But maybe other students see it differently. If you have any questions, Iā€™d be happy to try to help.

Are honors decisions coming out today?

Thereā€™s a place on the HC website where you can view them, but overall it is an incredible upgrade as far as quality and amenities. It is also decently self contained and it has a cafe on the ground floor of the building. It also contains various honors classrooms and seminar spaces

My son was accepted into the Honors College for next fall and wants to live in the Honors Dorms. Do you know if there are enough for all incoming students? How did your DD find a roommate? Thanks for the pearls of wisdom!

My d was accepted in dec for next fall; she does have friends who are living there now though. We are fairly close to UofSC campus & sheā€™s hoping one of her friends will be accepted in the upcoming waves to room w her. Good question about the roommates, though. I think they use FB/Instagram etc to find a roommate. Almost 100% sure they are guaranteed honors housing.

If you are in the Honors College, and are pretty much ā€œguaranteedā€ housing, would the housing application process be different? I havenā€™t committed to UofSC yet but I am looking at the application and I donā€™t see the Honors College as an option.
