The perfect mix. Columbia, South Carolina, boasts a unique blend of small-town friendliness and big-city attractions that is ideal for students. And the warmth goes beyond the weather; Columbia is a welcoming place full of citywide, community and neighborhood festivals, and, as the seat of state government and home to the headquarters of numerous state and regional businesses, internships and employment opportunities are plentiful.
