City - Columbia

Hugging the Congaree River and stretching east, Columbia is a sprawling city with a history dating back to colonial times. Nicknamed the "Capital of Southern Hospitality," Columbia is a welcoming, warm city -- it is also a college town, home to the University of South Carolina. The university is located downtown, covering over 359 acres. The historic, top-ranking university dates back to 1801, but the oldest structure in Columbia is the Seibels House, built around 1796. It currently serves as a house museum.

While there's plenty for college students to do, Columbia provides a variety of activities -- whether you're a golfer, a shopper, or a foodie. Kid-friendly activities are everywhere, from the gorgeous parks to the Riverbanks Zoo and Garden. The downtown district provides a variety of shops and restaurants along brick-paved sidewalks, and the river and nearby lakes provide opportunities for boating and fishing.

High Cost for Unclean and Old apartment

They towed my car in the first week of school without notice and I had a parking decal. Had to call all over to find my car and had to pay $150. Utilities are extremely high for no reason and appliances in the kitchen are old. Definitely can find better value for money in Columbia.

9/3/20

Unclean

The apartment was dirty. Mold in washer, dryer, dishwasher, grout in shower. The hvac unit was full of dust, dirt, mold and dirty filter laying to the side. Room smelled of weed and cigar smoke. Carper nasty. Sticky. Live roaches even in refrigerator. Fire alarms laying on counter in kitchen, disconnected and no batteries.

8/26/20

Beware of high utility bills and poor maintenance

Bills were much more than other similar apartments, maintenance not good, flooding, painting, lot of renovation going on, gates to parking often breaking down - no customer service, typical response ‘we are very busy and may not respond to your request’
