What Students Are Saying

NETWORK and see what types of people you really click with. Join clubs that sound interesting, but don't join too many because you will stretch yourself too thin. Be yourself because it's only girls and everyone is silly and loves to have fun. Especially be knowledgeable on Disney movies.

Suzie from Simpsonville, SC

I just want you to think really hard about what you want to do and hopefully Columbia College is one of you choices because it is a really great school and you will have a lot of fun. But if this not the school for you that is OK too because you should go to the school that you feel is the right fit for you.
