"The performance of the students can probably be attributed to the high academic requirements for participation in the program," she said. USC has seven students out on exchange and hopes to send out up to 23 more for the spring semester. "The total number we'll be able to send out depends upon the number of students host campuses will accept," White said.

Their impressions of South Carolina have been generally favorable. Kathleen McDonough, an elementary education major from the University of Utah, likes the people at USC but doesn't care for the campus. "The people here are a lot more friendly than in Utah, at least on the surface. But the campus is really much too spread out for me," she said. McDonough also noted that the Greek system at l ""1 is different. "Back home we didn't get into the preppy i ?ne like they do here. I don't care much for plaid shorts,' she said. Alexis Sterling, a computer science major from the University of Idaho, decided to come to USC because of the "Southern Mystique /'among other reasons. "Actually I just wanted to get a USC sweat shirt and also be able to hit the beach some," Sterling said.
