Claflin University is a prestigious privately funded HBCU and the first HBCU in South Carolina.

The cons are because they are a christian school, their so strict on dorm living that the opposite sex visitors had to stay in the common area and after a certain time (I believe 10 or 11 on weekdays, midnight on weekends) they had to leave and during exam week, visitation is not allowed at all. Another con is that because the campus is so small, the likelihood of your business getting out is high, so you don't get to have the same type of social experience you would have at a bigger university or public institution and forced to find housing outside of the campus after your first or second year also you would want to anyways because the way the girls/guys keep the community showers/bathrooms is horrendous. Also, if you go here for other degrees, you may not have as much success in finding a job after college. Oh and the food after the first week is horrible. What they give you during Freshmen Orientation Week is not what they give you during the school year. The best thing they have is their brunch on weekends.
