Guys & Girls

At first glance, some people may be intimidated by the number of attractive people on campus. But don’t let this facade fool you; not everyone is as perfect as they seem. Most students on campus are open to new relationships and are surprisingly non-stereotypical. Since the weather is warm most of the year, this is a great incentive to get out and be active, which is one of the best ways to meet guys or girls. Since this is the South, there are a lot of people who were raised with religious backgrounds....

Athletics

BSC recently downgraded from NCAA Division I to Division III, which means athletics at Southern are a work in progress. Similarly, since the Panthers are the newest members of the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference, there are limited opportunities to play nationally-known teams. The newest addition to the athletic department, the football program, has been dormant since 1939 and many people are excited to see how the brand new team fares in the new division. While sports are not the most prominent...
