Colleges in South Carolina Near the Beach?

I'm thinking about colleges in South Carolina, especially those close to the beach. It'd be great to mix academics with some time relaxing in the sun. Which colleges should I consider?

If you're looking for colleges in South Carolina that are close to the beach, you have several great options!

1. Coastal Carolina University is located right in Conway and is approximately 15 minutes from Myrtle Beach, which is known for its expansive shoreline, restaurants, and shops. This public university offers a diverse range of curricula such as Science, Humanities and Fine Arts, Business, Education, Behavioral Science, and Health Science

2. College of Charleston is situated in historic downtown Charleston and it's just a 20-minute drive from Folly Beach. The university offers a wide variety of degree programs, with particularly strong programs in Business, Arts, and Sciences.

3. The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina, also located in Charleston, encapsulates the rich military history of South Carolina and is also about a 20-minute drive to the beach.

While these colleges offer the proximity to beaches you desire, remember to consider other factors as well such as their academic programs, admission requirements, campus culture, and other factors that could impact your overall college experience. Exploring the campus virtually or visiting in person, if possible, can also be beneficial in making your decision.
