The Gateway Experience
We know how important it is for students to get the full college experience. That is why Gamecock Gateway students will have access to UofSC services like intramural sports, fitness centers, campus dining, libraries, the Student Success Center, Student Health Services, Counseling and Psychiatry and more. Like all UofSC students, Gateway students can also attend any UofSC athletic event and participate in Student Life opportunities! Midlands Technical College also offers services to Gateway students, like the Academic Success Center, Counseling Center, and more—so that Gateway students are supported in every aspect of their college career.
