I wish to attend the University of South Carolina - Columbia but, unfortunately, I genuinely resent the country music genre. I love everything else about the campus life. It seems like a merely trivial flaw but I haven’t tested out how long I can stand listening to it before my ears begin to bleed. How prevalent is country music at the University? Is it avoidable?
Do you think students at Vanderbilt only listen to country?
Dramatic much?
Wear earbuds and play only the music you like when you are in public or in the dormitory no matter where you are, you never know when someone might get the urge to play some Carrie Underwood or Blake Shelton. God forbid you should broaden your horizons in college.
Honestly, college is supposed to open your mind and your tastes. You really need to get over your silly rigidity if you expect to mature and grow
Yeah, it’s really hard to avoid hearing the country music. Especially in the morning, while everyone is tying up their horses in the parking ranch.
Do you think students at Columbia, Cornell, USC, UCLA only listen to hard rock, hiphop (kind of East Coast vs West Coast thingy)?..hip…hip…hooray?
I’m not sure what you mean by you “resent” country music? Resentment implies that you somehow feel harmed or are offended in some way by country music. What has country music done to you? I can understand you not liking country music and not wanting to hear it. I can’t speak to the ubiquity of country music in Columbia but I am sure there will be lots of different music styles for you to enjoy.
I’ve been to Columbia. Carrie Underwood ties down random people and forces earbuds into their ears blaring Jesus Take the Wheel. No escape from country music. I am sorry.
South Carolina is more diverse than the OP thinks. 41% of students come from out of state, including all 50 U.S. states and over 100 foreign countries. SC is in the top 3% of U.S. colleges in the nation for the highest number of black graduates. One can easily go 4 years at SC without hearing country music.
This reminds me of 20 years ago when, after finding out I lived in Atlanta, asked me how I could stand living on a farm.
Seriously?
Sorry, I meant to say when a guy from New Jersey asked how I could stand to live on a farm.
Don’t know how to edit posts.
You guys are the best
