I'm curious about the Coastal Carolina campus located in Myrtle Beach. Is it well-integrated with the main university, or does it feel separate? How are the facilities and student life over there?
Coastal Carolina University is actually located in Conway, South Carolina, which is about a 20-minute drive away from Myrtle Beach. There isn't a separate campus of the school in Myrtle Beach - it's all in Conway. It's a beautiful campus with modern facilities, green spaces, and an iconic pond right at the heart of the campus. The student life at Coastal Carolina is quite active, thanks to numerous student-run clubs and organizations catering to a broad range of interests.
Many students appreciate the location because it's close to the amenities and attractions of Myrtle Beach, yet far enough that the hustle and bustle of the tourist area doesn't interfere with campus life. There is no shortage of things to do over in Myrtle Beach, from the beach itself, to a bustling boardwalk, to numerous dining and shopping options, and even a few amusement and water parks! This proximity to a major tourism hub can be a great perk for students looking for entertainment or part-time job opportunities.
So while you're not physically studying in Myrtle Beach, the ambiance, sights, and attractions of this popular beach town are within easy reach whenever you want to take a break from studying and enjoy some downtime.
