20 Best Psychology Grad Programs In Charleston, SC (2022 Updated)

My stepfather who admitted himself in for feeling unwell, and was terminally ill, sadly never had a chance to walk out of icu. He walked in one day in October and never walked out a few days later. When he admitted himself in, he was talking and walking and very coherent. A couple days later, he wasnt any of those three. Maybe they couldn't save him, it was his time..maybe it wasnt…but he was doing way better when he admitted himself in, then laying in his deathbed in icu. When I came in to visit him, he couldn't talk, and had blood practically pooling in his mouth, all over his teeth, gums, tongue and hands. Blood literally all in his mouth, practically coughing and choking on his own blood. The doctors and nurses weren't helping him AT ALL. WE HAD TO MAKE A NURSE GET ALL THE BLOOD OUT HIS MOUTH SO HE WOULD QUIT CHOKING ON HIS OWN BLOOD. IT WAS THE MOST HORRIFYING THING I HAVE EVER SEEN. THEY SHOULD OF DONE MORE THAN NOTHING AT ALL. IT WAS A HOSPITAL OF HORRORS. TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL, COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL. PERIOD. Yeah, nice building but that might be the last thing you see… My own experience, when in because I'm 150% positive I have blood clots in my leg, they did blood work and charged me almost $2,000 for just blood work. I went in the ER, was never put in a room, sat on a hospital bed in the hallway for 3+ hours…the entire time. It was not a private visit…everyone heard everything that was said and discussed. I begged for an x-ray, MRI anything that would show blood clots. They refused and told me it was either bruising or nothing at all. No its not bruising, because ive had this "bruising" for months… Going to another hospital for a second opinion. The doctor or student whoever is was that saw me walked out the same time I did, and beat me to the cafeteria. They let me leave when they were leaving. We practically walked out together. Tell me, HOW DO I KNOW MORE MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT MY CONDITION THEN THEY DO?! When I told them what condition I thought I had, they never heard about it and was googling it in front of me!! I told them more information than they even knew!!! Dont waste time and money on a hospital that employees Dont seem to know information medically they are suppose to know and be learning about. I watched my own stepfather suffer and die in the hands of these unprofessional. How many others are suffering from the hands of them?A McCoy

My husband was concerned about his heart and was treated by the MUSC chest pain center at Ashley Towers. The team was professional and knowledgeable and empathetic. They listened carefully to our concerns and asked every conceivable question. They ordered the appropriate test and analysis for his condition. We are so grateful to Dr Conner and Garret and Jennifer and all the people that make this great team work. May God Bless you as you do so manyTomilee Harding

The medical care provided was great but the cleaning service sucked. My friend stayed for 6 days, when they placed him in the room someone else's paperwork was on the table,used medical supplies were on the counter, the trashcan had used adult briefs in it, the floor had not been swept and blood was on the floor (that was not his). He requested cleaning and it wasn't until he was checking out that someone came in to clean.Kimberly Choice

I thought USCB was a good school until i lived on campus. The housing staff is racist. They don't follow the rules of the handbook. They give students no privacy. They let your roommates steal without any consequences. One housing staff member i would like to point out is Ms. Whaley who attacks students who live on campus because she think she has power over everyone. Mrs. Burks-hale has made many vulgar comments to my girlfriend because of the color of her skin. For the students that are here today on acceptance day, you still have time to make the right decision. Choosing the college you wanna go to for the next four years is the biggest decision of your life.USCB Student

I'm currently a senior at USCB and honestly I would have been lost when I transferred here 2 years ago if it hadn't of been for Katie Deal in financial aid. I had no clue how to take out loans or even figure out if I qualified for anything. Katie pretty much took me under her wing and pointed me in the right direction so I could have the means to make it to graduation. She has always gone above and beyond for me and has spent hours upon hours trying to find the best loan for me. For any incoming students or parents trying to get financial help, I highly recommend you go see Katie. USCB has really found a gem with her!Caleb Thompson

Good school if you want to be surrounded by dogs all day and possibly walking in dog poop all the time. I didn't come here to be at a doggy day care center. Probably going to transfer because I don't like being awoken by barking at 3 am and the housing staff sucks! Not to mention at the beginning of the semester one of the dorms were infested with fleas!Sammiee Edwards

Great local university offering a solid education, but lacking administration. For its size, USC Upstate offers an impressive number of courses, specializing in education and nursing. The vast majority of professors employed at Upstate are talented individuals and gifted teachers, very skilled at imparting knowledge on students. The actual grounds and structures of Upstate are well kept up, and consistently being updated, improved, and added on. As an alumnus, I am thoroughly happy with the education that I received at Upstate. My only complaint about Upstate is the administrative department. Admissions, financial aid, and any other non-education portion of the school seems disconnected and completely unaware. I frequently had to call or stop by to address what seemed to be extremely minor issues, only to spend hours running around to find a fix. My wife applied, never received an acceptance letter, but she later received a confirmation of financial aid. Never assume they've handled an issue that you have any concerns about. USC Upstate is a great school, one that I will continually offer my support for. However, they could definitely improve the admissions department, and all other administrative facets of the school. Stay on top of any issues before they become urgent and you should do just fine here.Jake Hennett

EDITED TO ADD: changed review from 2 stars to 3. The University did remove the charges for the meal plan and I do not think they require 100% virtual students to pay the meal plan anymore. The second semester resulted in a slightly better experience regarding the online education format. We plan to enroll in more in person classes next semester. L.Bishop Original review: I don't know what this University was like before the pandemic, but we are not getting a good value for the money. Several professors last semester did not seem proficient with the virtual/online format or appear to care that students weren't getting the same or comparable education to in person classes. I wish we had enrolled in a fully distance learning program elsewhere, as they are proficient with everything online learning entails. Also, when choosing a University, many compare tuition costs. However, the fees each semester are significant and sometimes defy logic. For example, why would a student who doesn't even live on campus and is taking 100 percent online courses and never goes on campus be forced to purchase a meal plan???Lisa Bishop

This college is a joke, I hate that I even transferred here. I should of looked at these reviews before I even thought about attending. I'm going to try my best to get out this university. The staff here always gives you the run around, seems very uneducated and not much helpful to make your transfer goes as smooth as possible. I hate this school already and I haven't even started yet till next week. Plus if you are a veteran you basically have to do everything yourself, they don't know their job and you have to figure out everything on your own. Something is always missing. They are clueless. I can't tell you how many times I had to take trips up there because my phone calls were never returned and I'm not even a current student yet, or they tell you your good to start school in the upcoming semester then something else pops up you need in order to start. This whole transition has been a major headache for me.Tiontay Bradford

CIU is a con. You realize it after a year or two as a student there. CIU is an embarrassment to higher education. The degrees and programs offered provide little to no value in the actual world. You may think you will go into full-time Christian ministry, but most graduates of CIU do not. As a former Student President and graduate of CIU, I am ashamed of Columbia International University and I hope prospective students and their parents think twice before making the decision to go. Fast forward 4 years, you will have collected over 100K in tuition fees, you will have two useless degrees, and those 'degrees' will be from a nonreputable, unheard of university. You won't care about any of this at 17 or 18 years old. You will think student loans are fine and a degree won't affect my life much. It took me almost 15 years to pay off my loans with family help and scholarships. My 2 degrees have not helped me since the day I graduated. I say again, CIU is a con. The institution and faculty know it. It is an illusion – what you think will be, will not be. Every year new students arrive with desire and ideas for their lives – so many leave empty-handed and jaded by the experience.Brian Wimberley

We had the most AHHHMAZING tour experience guided by the Dean of ICU, Scott R. Adams J.D. himself. I am so impressed with every aspect of this beautiful, immaculate campus. It is such a phenomenal learning environment for the students surrounded with walking trails, lakes, meditation locations, State of the Art Sports Fields, a beautiful Seminary, incredible Business School, IT School, Nursing School, etc.. Mr. Adams was so full of knowledge about everything we enquired about, so much so, he made me want to go back to school tjere!!!Karen McNally

Avoid at all costs. The spiritual damage this has caused me has taken almost 10 years to get me back to being okay with entering a church without having an anxiety attack. It takes about a semester to see this place for what it really is. Yeah, the tours are nice and it feels like a place where God is at work… But it's really just a den of Pharisees. Trust the negative reviews. Don't let your kids come here!Krista Dietrich

A Christian College should have the right to stand by it's stated belief system. This is not a public university. The students knew the belief system when they enrolled. Other religions also believe homosexuality is contrary to God's teaching. So, does that mean that a church, synagogs, or any other belief that doesn't mesh with the mainstream media is no longer allowed freedom in this nation? People say they want separation of church and state UNTIL they don't like what a church believes-then they want the government to force a church to change it's beliefs. These students are free to go to a public college, but if they choose to attend a Christian college they should be willing follow the guidelines of this private college.Ruth Crawford

Didn’t go to school there but enjoyed playing their disc golf course they have set up around the campus. Got a hole in one to make it all the better and hit the chains a second time but it didn’t stay in the basket.Fern Fox

Judge a person's stature by quality of their enemies. Erskine's enemies are confused, hate mongering Liliputians. Erskine is worthy of far more intelligent people to hate her.joe foreman

The science department (bio, biochem, chemistry, physics) is amazing and so helpful in supporting students aiming for any graduate level education. Every professor pushes you to be better while also guiding you to be a better person and student. They are all straight forward and even step by step help you apply and learn about career options. I couldn't have asked for better mentors in that department. And I'm thankful every day that they invested so much in me and helped me get into medical school. The school community in itself is not accommodating. I felt ostracized my first year being out of state and being minority. I almost transferred my freshman year because I was just that miserable living on campus. The community is not diverse by any means and it is 100% a suitcase school, despite what I was told when I visited before applying. I don't necessarily blame the school for the students attitude but I never felt welcomed or at home at Anderson after 4 years. I am also a Christian, and did not agree with many of Anderson's values, although their rules are not difficult to follow, just tedious. Essentially, Anderson Univeristy has a fantastic science department, and I would rate them by themselves 10/10 but the community there I would rate 4/10. If you just want a great science education, they have it, but social life isn't as guaranteed.Meagan Ocampo

If you are in favor of a small Baptist community, then by all means go here. However, if you are anything but that, then expect to be forced to go to Chapel in order to graduate, a zero tolerance for married couples or any couple in that matter, and residence advisors inspecting your room in depth if there is any suspicion that you are doing anything against their small Baptist community policies. Don't expect the best one on one attention because every other class and special needs student gets it with the same professor. Lastly, most of the on campus living have a huge mold problem that affected my friends' health as well as my own, and some campus complexes were infested with roaches. By the way tuition is $22,570 per two semesters, while other public schools like Clemson is $13,022 per two semesters.Joshua Hendrix

I am currently a student at Anderson University, and overall I have had a great experience. I have made great friends and the academic curriculum is excellent in my major. I will say that the school is not for everyone. It has a very strong christian atmosphere and students are held to certain rules and standards not found at other schools. However, this is part of what I like about Anderson as it helps prepare students for the real life scenarios of being responsible adults. I will tell you this though, every professor puts in 110% into everyone's education, I have never been denied academic help when I needed it. I feel prepared for the future going forward into my senior year next semester.Caroline M

First coming to Benedict College I honestly didn't know what to expect on this journey. I was hesitant, nervous and felt like "this isn't what college's look like on TV." It also didn't help that I started second semester so as I was coming in, people already had their set of friends and I was trying to figure out where I fit in at. I then realized that I couldn't just stay to myself so I got involved with activities on campus such as BC Underground and community life becoming an RHA. As I opened up to my fellow peers, formed lifelong bonds with people, and learned how much love and support I had from my professors, I can say my experience at Benedict has been a good one. Now with graduation approaching, I'm taking all my knowledge and applying it towards my future and of course grad school. I'm proud to call this my Alma mater and be a Tiger!LaBria Grant

I had the worst experience as a parent to a child who use to go there. I was trying to get his transcript so he would be able to attend another college. The young lady at the transcript office was really polite but once I went to the financial aid office it turn to like I was dumb and didn't know the reason why I came there. I mean it don't take a scientist to realize you can't get a transcript if you owe a debt so that's why I was sent there. The guy at the front desk was rude and not professional at all, he said to much that wasn't call for and I really do advise parents to check this college out before letting your child enter there. Just remember where ever you work always be polite and represent your job or company with the up most dignity.patricia davis

As an Alumnus of Benedict College I would say Benedict is a dynamic institution and an even better choice! The reality is that its not the perfect school for everyone, but if you're looking to take advantage of a great opportunity and have some defining experiences BC is a great choice! It is not a school you should come to just because mom wants you out of the house. If that's your largest aspiration then you'll FAIL and you wont enjoy the experience very much. I've met some of the most accomplished and talented professors at this institution. Not to mention, the family felt environment nurtures you but prepares you for the world! I'm super proud of my HBCU. I cant wait to see what else is in store for BC!Benjamin

I really like the flexibility of the online courses, the affordability and the variety of degree options they have. My advisors and teachers have been very great but communicating with the other staff at this school is very frustrating. The employees in the financial aid department are very rude and condescending and they hang up on you abruptly whenever they get frustrated with you. The registar’s office is by far the WORST. Very nasty employees in that department who talk down to you and treat you like a child. They seem to forget they work for a college, not an elementary school. One spent 10 minutes arguing on the phone with me just because I wanted my new advisor’s phone number and email. The “career counselors” offer no type of help or advice and they just tell you to “google it” whenever you have a basic question about a certain major. They are also very judgmental if you express a desire to finish with only an associates degree and not transfer to a 4 year, not considering not everyone has the financial means to do so. The call center employees are very disrespectful and seem like they want to find reasons to argue with callers. There are also huge issues with miscommunication at this school and everyone seems to have different answers about certain topics which causes a lot of errors. Certain departments are also not great about contacting back even after leaving numerous voicemails/emails. Overall I like the school itself but they need to either retrain the employees on basic respect and customer service or they need to hire new ones.Resident Anon

The teachers here are all outstanding and they make you feel like they want you to succeed. I have taken College Algebra, Biology and Spanish in the classroom and the instructors were all topnotch. There is also additional help available to students in the free math lab and writing centers as well as Spanish tutoring. The online classes are not that confusing but you do need to pay attention because sometimes you are required to take classes through third-party online textbooks via the access codes. The only problems I had were with transferring credits to the school and getting contradictory information from the financial aid office on one occasion. I do wish the school did a better job with advising students but I understand the logistics issues. Everyone at the hub is friendly and helpful! Use them they are a great resource. To all the people that left negative reviews, I would say "you get out what you put in". This is college and you get treated like an adult.Linda Brady

Mrs Jagal never cease to amaze me. I can’t count on her to get registered for the correct classes, motivation me, and share some knowledge on everyday life. She exceeds the title as an advisor and for that, I am forever grateful. She is authentic, sensible, and overall a down to earth amazing persons. She has been the perfect push I need to get my education I need to support my family. She approached. She is direct. She is Trident Tech. Thank you again Mrs. Jagal for Trident Tech the best part of my educational journey. The world needs a little bit of you everywhere. Continue to be, you!A Boss

I was informed that I'm not eligible to apply to the online MBA program because I don't meet the work experience requirements (I have over 6 years of work experience – just not managerial/professional). The business school is not even accredited by any of the 3 major business school accrediting agencies (ACBSP, AACSB, or IACBE), which is actually rare to find in a university as large as UC. Yes, they are a “member of ACBSP” but they are NOT accredited by this agency. Having any of these business accreditations assures students that its business programs are of high quality and adheres to standards based on latest research and business practices. AACSB is the gold standard that uses research as base on practice and accredits private and public universities like Harvard and many state universities. ACBSP/IACBE usually accredits insituitions that are either have created new business programs and are looking to be AACSB accredited or are lower ranking than AACSB acccredited ones and usually uses a occupational & hands on approach to learning. Without out said accreditation(s) the UC mba program actually ranks lower than many for profit business schools like University of Phoenix, Devry University, & Capella- who are all at least accredited by ACBSP, which should be looked at as the bare minimum for students looking into MBA programs.Josh Esc

The University of Charleston is a very academically rigorous, yet comprehensive educational institution. If you plan to go to college in West Virginia, I recommend this university.Paul Lee

A small private school with very positive attitude. The teachers genuinely care and the community of UC is extremely generous.Nimit Shah

I went to midlands tech for many years. I struggled through the nursing program (and associates in arts and associated in science programs) for years as a single mother of a child with disabilities who was also exiting a decade long abusive relationship. I walked on a broken foot for four months through Clinicals in order to make it, had a foot surgery, totaled cars, and 20+ hours a week of therapies for my son with disabilities. And still I made it to my LPN semester only to end up in the hospital the last week before finals. I was told that I could not have a medical drop as I had received one for my foot surgery and was forced to take test 3,4, and the final in the week following my visit to the hospital. My grade dropped from a 90 to a 79.4 and I was told that I’d have to repeat everything all over again. The ombudsman and the VP went to Mrs. Bannister and begged her to allow an exception based off of the healthcare related nature of my situation and she refused. This place ruined my life and left me with no way to support my child and no nursing career after I already had a job waiting for me on the surgical trauma floor at Richland. After everything I lived through and survived. I am still traumatized. This place will ruin your life. DO NOT ATTEND THIS COLLEGE! Edit: In addition to my previous post this school is taking it a step further and denying me the right to participate in graduation after everything I have been through due to me being locked out of my MTC email (PS who only sends email info on a school email? nothing in the mail?) and was unable to receive the notification in time and they are now refusing my participation in graduation. I wish I could let anyone at that school know what they've done to me, my family, and my life. I HATE THIS SCHOOL and I've never hated anyone or anything!Danielle D Jacobs

I am in the Computer Technology program and am supposed to be completing my last semester, however we are at midterm and I am now finding out I have 1 more class to take . This is particularly infuriating because not only did my advisor tell me how many courses i needed to take to graduate, but Financial aid department told me that the aid for the semester was awarded based on how many credit hours i needed to graduate (I am taking the classes that I was told and showed I needed). Overall, in my 2 years as a student, my opinion has always been that's it is very much a subpar school-regarding the staff as well as education quality. My first semester (my education foundation) I had 2 that didn’t care and literally booted you out of the classroom before class was over as they had other things to do. The computer advisors are extremely ill prepared to help anyone. They continuously have no idea what each class will teach you, do not know which classes you should take for any career path, and are usually new personnel each semester. I, like many other students here, have a family outside of school and do not have the means to be a student and unemployed for another semester. Also, they don't have ANY tutors for the computer department! This makes things VERY difficult. The teachers do what they can in their office hours, and I can name 3 or 4 that are worth calling a teacher/professor and actually care about the subject and students. They claim to help you find a job after, and boast they have company’s asking them for their graduates… however this is not easily accessed, nor are there plentiful opportunities once graduated. The level of education and subjects taught seem not to be in line at all with what is desired by companies.srnclb

Horrible, Horrible, Horrible experiences! I have attended multiple semesters here and each one is more of a dumpster fire than the last. I have never had such difficulty with anything in my life or dealt with such rude, spiteful, or plan MEAN faculty members. I have been told countless times to quit my job and focus only on school, please tell me how being the sole provider for my family that would work? Followed by the staffs refusal to talk with me about options when I refuse to quit my job and have to look for odd times to attend classes. This school has been a GIGANTIC regret and I have only ever dealt with about two people that actually cared and WANTED to help like a decent educator would. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME, MONEY, ENERGY or LIFE here.Dani

Clean cut at its best. Given the shenanigans going on at most college campuses today, it was nice to see respect and professionalism on display everywhere. No ragged and torn clothing, no Rand McNally maps running up and down arms (tattoos) no steel dangling from noses, no pants hanging half off butts, one could feel pride in America and hope for the future when touring this vast and beautiful campus. A quick tour showed this to be a non-nonsense, education first, institution. Having been in the military, it did not take me long to figure out that the "fast walkers" were freshmen. They stuck to their designated walkways, off the sidewalks for the most part, walking at a fast clip with a pronounced gait, and making sharp right turns at the corners. We would go back in a heartbeat and you should too when you start to lose faith in America. Different uniforms but it reminded me a lot of Annapolis. God bless the USA.Jack

“The Citadel” is the Pride of the South! We have quite a few family and friends that are graduates of The Citadel. My son will be graduating High School in 2023 so we took time this Summer to visit colleges with our first stop here. Our Admissions Officer, Josh Simons (also alumni) gave an excellent presentation. If you’re not serious or dedicated to higher education and pushing yourself mentally and physically to be your absolute best, this isn’t the school for you! If you’re a leader or want to be and you have honor, understand duty, respect others and authority then you may be a candidate. I have confidence and hope my son will choose to be a cadet. He’s an athlete which will only add to a positive four year experience for him.Simone

I am about to graduate from here and this was extremely difficult. You have to be mentally tough to get through this. I’m not sure why this university is not more widely recognized across the United States. I am from the North East and some people have not heard of it. However, the lessons I’ve learned here are invaluable.Matthew Jones

Patient Care takes back seat to employee schedule Within a week I experienced unavailable care due to employee work schedule. Let’s call 4:00 to 5:00 pm the Non responsive hour at MUSC radiology department and response team. On Tuesday 9/13/22 I was having blood drawn at the Rutledge tower for my annual physical. I apparently fasted too long ( about 16 hours) and I passed out while the blood was drawn. I recovered with the help of 3 phlebotomists with ice packs and forced air. I heArd them call the MUSC response team to come check on me. A few minutes later one of the tech says the response team is not coming because it is 4:30 . They went home. I had no medical personnel check me over before I left which made me anxious about my condition but I had no alternative according to the phlebotomists. They did an admirable job looking after me and should be recognized and not reprimanded. The leadership of the hospital should be held accountable for creating a time window of no responsive teams for patients and visitors welfare. Today , 9/15/22 I had an X-ray order from my primary care doctor to X-ray my left knee due to a suspected torn ligament. I called the radiology department to make sure there would be techs to take an X-ray up to 5:00 pm. I was verbally assured that I would be looked after in radiology and have the X-ray taken. I checked in a 4:15 in Radiology in the Rutledge tower and told I will have the X-ray taken at 4:30. A saved screenshot of my confirmation from the receptionist records my check in and 4:30 X-ray. The receptionist who checked me in came to me at 4:20 to tell me all the X-ray techs had left at 4:00 today. I was told to come back tomorrow. Today I had gotten off work to come and get the X-ray. It’s disappointing that a reputable hospital and it’s departments cannot schedule their staff to be available to serve the patients with their reported skills. These problems start at the top and should be addressed by leadership and made to be held accountable. This reminds me that”The customer is not always right, but is always very powerful.” I’ll be happy to help MUSC fix its scheduling problems and help it look after it’s patients.Bob Kerr

The lack of care and compassion shown to a Person, Former MUSC Employee and My Mother is astounding to me. My Mother was placed in Hospice care on a Friday night discharged being a fall hazard and she transported by ems who didn't have a wheelchair on board. We had to borrow our neighbor wheelchair at 11pm to get Mother in the house. Hospice didn't have time to have any equipment for her which made the weekend so difficult for her. Then the awful doctor Matthew Kolher made the comment while bring students in the room he said "they eat all those fatty foods" meaning black people as her looked at my Mother. I moved her out of his care and the Hollings Cancer Center. She only returned after being told it was easier to treat her since her doctors were at MUSC. I had so many questions when reached the end of life, I called him 3 times and he nor his off returned a call regarding his patient. I know that MUSC doesn't care about most people or the patient care it's Doctor's and staff sells but this is unacceptable and if you are ever faced with needing compassionate health care please research before selecting MUSC. The lack of interest when calling was even worse. I know she was nothing to you and insurance wasn't great but she was my Mother and she she did he best and deserved better care treatment and respect than what was given by MUSC, Dr. Matthew Kolher Oncologist. People love your family enough to research your hospital and the care they sell you.Baylee Jones

Horrible hospital!!!! The doctors may know what they're doing but outside of that, this hospital is horrible!!!! My dad was at this hospital after having surgery and no one came around for days to wash him up. He was complaining to me telling me he was uncomfortable because he hadn't been washed since his surgery. Four days of passing, and he hasn't been washed! When I asked the nurse if they could wash him, she had an attitude. It's crazy, we're the ones that should of had the attitude. She tell me when she or someone get a chance, but that chance didn't come until late that next day. I went to an office there at the hospital to file a complaint and they take my complaint but tell me it's nothing they can do. I was crying because there was nothing I could do at that point to help my dad. The lady in the office confirmed that she get a lot of those same complaints, and that I should call the NEWS and report it. When I went back to my dad's room I saw the nurse, and still crying I got into an argument with her, and instead of understanding how I was feeling she called security and asked them to exscort me off the floor. Anyway, I'm from up north and I always thought the people in the south were caring friendly people but I guess I was wrong, well not at this hospital anyway.Alfreda Jones

My husband reached out for help here after doing some research. He was diagnosed with adhd in childhood. Unlike the common belief, most people dont "grow out of it" and its a form of nuerodivergence. We just get better at masking and hiding it. Anyways, They refuse to treat adhd because they will not prescribe stimulants (the main medication used to treat adhd, especially in adults). I understand stimulants have a reputation for being abused. What I dont understand is the refusal to treat people with the best proven line of defense for their condition. By doing so they are excluding a lot of people that are just looking for help for their condition and futhering the taboo. It's quite abelist.Allison Deason

You would be hard pressed to find a better therapist than Dominique Darby. I had the pleasure of watching her work with multiple children with behavior and emotional disabilities. She was knowledgeable, patient, kind, and understanding. She went the extra mile to include families and caregivers in therapy, and the children not only responded well to her, but WANTED (and learned to ask) to reach out to her when they felt overwhelmed and were having problems using the coping skills Dominique had taught them because they knew she could help them through. Dominique “DD” Darby is a force to be reckoned with. She genuinely cares and she gets results.Dee Miller

This company literally STOLE 424.00 from our daughter by swiping her debit card-which they kept on file-10 MONTHS after her LAST appointment!!! DO NOT GO HERE and DO NOT use this counseling service!!! They literally STEAL from your bank by claiming “you owe us for visits and we are just catching up our books…”. Meanwhile, insurance paid and ALL debt was paid 10 months ago!!! Fraudulent and fake counseling service!!!! You will be charged after you are long gone…..DO NOT use them!!! They get “0” stars! Fraud!!!! Scammers!!! Thieves!!!! Going straight to hell for stealing from people!!Jackie Wheeler

Dr. Lake is not only a wonderful psychologist but a caring person who truly understands the complexities of human nature. She embodies what a true psychologist should be. She is not afraid to challenge you to really think about yourself. The most important thing is that she is a real person at the end of the day and will go beyond the borders of sufficiency to help you understand yourself. Thank you Dr. Lake!Peter bonacci

Our experience with Dr. Lake has been five-star from start to finish. Dr. Lake possesses a combination of knowledge, grit, and total heart. Her thoroughness and attention to detail provided answers to questions we have been asking teachers, doctors and other professionals for years. As another reviewer on her Facebook page said, you are where you need to be.Dawn Dockey

Dr. Lake provides extraordinary service, empathy, and intellect beyond compare. Highly recommend her for evaluations and therapy. Our family thanks God for her.Christie Bonacci

I am currently deciding whether or not to pursue holistic occupational therapy for graduate school and Kasey has been an incredible mentor. She has provided me with unconditional support and so much wisdom throughout my journey. Kasey is extremely knowledgeable and so so compassionate. Her practice is setting the new standards for holistic OT. She also just started a facebook community for holistic OTs!! Woohoo!! I am so grateful for the guidance and encouragement Kasey has given me. I could not recommend her enough!!Em 28

Talking with Kasey during our sessions has been a huge blessing to me. I am in a transitional time in my life with starting a new business and taking on a lot of new responsibilities to reach goals I have for myself. She made me feel so empowered and at ease moving forward with my decisions. I am looking forward to talking with her again and having her as a mentor and coach!Hannah Brenk

I can't recommend Roots to Thrive enough. Before I met with Kasey I felt very unsure of my direction and of what I needed to focus on when starting my own business. Kasey was patient, thorough and best of all empowering. After meeting with her I felt motivated and confident to move forward with my goals! Highly recommend!Sierra Taylor

Honestly I wish I could give a 0. I used to be proud to say I went to this HBCU. Especially since my grandfather was on the board and is the reason the two main dorms are there to house the current attending students.DO NOT COME TO THIS SCHOOL. After I graduated I tried calling and emailing for a year to obtain my transcripts and degree and when I finally reached somebody they said they couldn’t give me them because I have a $34,000 balance that I owe. I asked for my itemized statement and there were multiple discrepancies as well as a sum of about $8,000 that was taken from me for a semester that I didn’t attend. When I confronted them they stopped taking my calls and emails. I contacted FASFA they returned the money and continued to ignore my calls and emails. There are 167 other alumni that are also in this situation. Allen allows you to register doesn’t notify you of a balance and then tells you after they’ve accepted your money for senior dues and right before graduation. They have stolen financial aid funds and scholarships from multiple students and I have the receipts to back up this claim. AVOID THIS SCHOOL at all cost unless you want your money stolen and your transcripts wrongfully withheld and to be screwed right before graduation. I’m in the process of taking legal action.Brianna McCoy

This is school is by far one of the worst HBCU. It’s sad because it wasn’t like this when I was in college. The Administration is very unprofessional and rude. It’s sad that when Dr Spearin left and a few other good professors this schools went down. The shootings and robbery they keep quiet about. The professors who call themselves Dr are not any guidance it’s as if they’re there for a check not the betterment of the kids. Oh and why do they take forever and a day to disperse those kids refund checks like It’s theirs. Just utter lack of taste. Trash…Junerous Singleton

My godfather, DR. Brian Newsome took me to a gray collegiate basketball game on President's day weekend so I can get time away from home, but getting a wonderful GCA fan experience so I can break my personal addiction of carrying my car brochures around everywhere I go. Overall, the bathrooms were pristinely cleaned and sanitized and it was awesome. Gray defeated Whale Branch by a good margin. #WAREAGLEKevron Harris

I work just down the road from this Walgreens, so I tend to go there whenever I need pictures printed. I sent a picture to be printed on a Friday and received the email confirmation that it was ready for pickup that afternoon, but it was too late that day for me to get it before going home so I went on Monday instead. I also needed to get a couple of other items, and when I went to check out and pick up the pictures the two women working couldn't find my photo. That's fine – apparently they ran out of printer paper due to a couple of big jobs. However, the only reason I know that is because the two ladies were talking to each other about it, instead of to me. They never actually told me directly that they didn't have my picture, and offered no apology or in any way acknowledged that I was inconvenienced. I paid for my other purchase, and left without hearing another word from either lady – no "sorry about that," no "thank you," no "have a nice day." Nothing. I'm not normally one to be snarky about customer service; I usually want to just get in and get out with minimal interaction. But when there's a problem, and when it's clearly the fault of the store instead of me, I do expect something – at least to be spoken to directly about the problem! They also didn't bother to tell me when they're expecting to get in more paper (of course, why would they tell me that when they didn't even tell me my picture wasn't there). I am profoundly unimpressed.Heather Kiessling

I work close to this Walgreens and so have used it for prescriptions. I like the pharmacy staff and would continue to use them if it weren't for the location/clientele. There are a lot of homeless people with mental health problems who hang out around the store and use the restroom. I had a very scary, disturbing encounter with one today that led me to believe he could be a threat to people in the area, which is a busy part of King Street. I called the store and spoke to the manager afterwards, who did not seem at all interested in hearing what happened and told me in a somewhat rude manner "you can call the police if you want to." I called the police to report him, who said they would be on the lookout. The man mentioned having 100 guns to me in an unhinged way and I felt it should be reported just in case. While the location is convenient in many ways, I will be switching to another pharmacy after this experience.Rebecca Schultz

On Friday, February 23rd at midnight I walked into Walgreens hungry, thirsty, and in need of a restroom. I asked the gentlemen at the desk if I may use the restrooms. They said "the restrooms are closed at 10pm." I told them "that's a shame and really not good business." I they said "we don't make the rules". I said "I completely understand and please tell your manager that as a customer I was planning on buying something to eat and drink but because I was not allowed to use the restroom I'm just going to drive home." The employees told me "walgreens is a multibillion dollar company and we don't need your money." I was shocked at the rude retort and don't plan on going back.David Hensel

I actually went to Care South to the Area Agency on Aging which is on 2nd Street or 2nd Avenue across from the athletic field. I'm a social worker for MSA Hospice in Florence South Carolina and I went there to pick up some information with regards to resources for seniors in the state of South Carolina which is pretty much a thick book and it's free. And I also dropped off an application for caregiver assistance . Great group of people to work with in terms of securing grants from the Alzheimer's Association and the Area Agency on Aging for caregiver support for hospice and home health patients and also a good source for getting grant money to help with things like a ramp for patient's home. I give them five stars.Joseph Cherochak

Nice staff and beautiful old buildings. I went there for a tour the young lady that walked me around campus is currently a student. She knew her stuff ;o) I'm new to the area and this private university was quite an eye opener. Tuition is over 40k/year. Class size is small 14 to 1 for most classes. Some classes are 5 students/professor. Their teaching style is more immersive. Check them out.Greg Mann

My daughter enoyed a volleyball camp at Coker College over the past few days. We liked the campus, it's just blocks from the "downtown" area of Hartsville, so very walkable to coffee shops, restaurants, etc. The staff and school took great care of my daughter and we hope to return for a tour when classes begin again.Karen Mullins

What an amazing campus. First opened as a military college, then became available to civilians, women and fully integrated in 1963. After graduating with my doctorate in Environmental Toxicology in 1996 I have never returned until 2020. Although the city has changed drastically, the campus' beauty and attention to the most current curricula still remains. They have a beautiful new Business School and the campus life can't be beat. Add to it to beauty of the nearby mountains and lakes, 90 mins to Atlanta and overall excellence in education you cannot go wrong.Bill Henriques

Up to Clemson for the day to visit with our Uncle who just turned 104 years in July. He's doing great, and we had a great visit. One of the most amazing men, and human being I've had the privilege to know and love. We'll be back as soon as we can. He retired many years ago as a Professor at Clemson.Greg Veal

My child loves Clemson even in the pandemic. Being a grad student at Clemson has been very rewarding and educational. Thanks to all the wonderful professors and staff members. My child has made some great memories and friends. Can’t wait to attend “Family Weekend” in 4 weeks. Go Tigers!!!Stl

FMU is a wonderful college. I went there and my son is a 4.0 there now in his 3rd year. It is an fully integrated school where all races live in harmony in the spirit of higher education. The quality of the programs are second to none. The quality of the Faculty & staff is top shelf. The value of the FMU experience is reasonable and in state tuition is a great value. There are many international students and they all love the beautiful well maintained campus. The President, Fred Carter has built new facilities and the nursing and health programs are getting national recognition. FMU is a Jewel that has something for everybody, but its college and its going to that dedication and hard work. All colleges have a segment who get caught up in their new freedom and the party scene and cannot manage their studies and drop out. In college you get what you earn and nothing more.Jimmy Carter

I am an alumna of FMU and absolutely hated every second of it. I wish I transferred to USC after my first year. Thankfully, I went there after FMU and realized how unfairly *some people* are treated at FMU in comparison to other schools where your presence is valued and appreciated. The Spanish department in particular was a hot mess! *Dr.* Caldwell who was there when I attended and still there, was very disrespectful. The ACCOUNTING office sent an email to do a survey regarding a Perkins Loan. I graduated a long time ago and any loan was long paid in full! Apparently, the email was sent in error to everyone who already paid. In the age of phishing/spoofing, you really need to fact check before you press send.Ami McKinney

This university is situated in Florence SC but looks almost like it's in a forest. It is named after a famous Revolutionary war general Francis Marion aka the Swamp Fox. He helped to defeat the British by using guerilla warfare tactics he learned from the Native American's. On the grounds is a lovely pond which serves as a reminder of what the area looked like in his time. They also have a huge baseball complex with an aptly named team called the Patriots. In the middle of the road stands a fantastic statue of Marion holding a banner with the word Liberty embossed on it. It's worth a look.HereAndThereWith PatAndBob
