<p>My son’s classes once he got past the intro courses and was taking upper level business classes have had about 50 people each. Prior to that most were 75 to 100. Every semester one or two classes (in the business school) are a problem and require getting an override from the instructor to get in. I have heard that getting upper level classes is a problem in other majors. I realize Carolina is a big state school so this is usual. Also, I suspect that South Carolina does award scholarships pretty much based on numbers as it would take quite a bit of time thoroughly vet the applications. It was my understanding that honors college students have an earlier and separate registration process and therefore are spared the hassles of waiting in line for an hour at advisement. Seats are available for their classes while seats for the general population sometimes are not. My son has loved Carolina but he feels as do many of his friends that each year lines get longer and access to everything from lunch to the Thurman center courts gets harder. The price of popularity I guess.</p>
