A room in a University of South Carolina hall costs between $7,056 and $14,570 for the 2026–27 academic year, depending on the hall, and the page gives no meal plan information. I found no Columbia rent figure, so private rental is left out.
Details come from the University of South Carolina Housing rates page for fall 2026 to spring 2027, checked on 23 October 2026. Rates are per room type, so check how many people share. Woodrow had no rate listed. I did not find an Apartment List figure for Columbia, SC.
