A Four-Year Community


The Honors College community doesn’t end after you’ve moved out of Berry Hall. You’ll continue to receive support throughout your four years at the College. 

And if you’re looking for connection outside the classroom, there are plenty of ways to get involved with other Honors College students throughout the year.

  • Student activities like art nights and cook-offs. 
  • Free tickets to events around Charleston through the Honors Signature Series. 
  • An annual scavenger hunt across downtown Charleston. 
  • Honors College Field Day, a friendly competition among each class of Honors College students.  
  • A senior boat cruise in Charleston Harbor for graduating Honors College students.
