Hey! South Carolina has a number of colleges with large student populations. Here are a few you should consider (note that these numbers include graduate students):

1. University of South Carolina (USC) in Columbia: As the flagship campus of the USC system, it has over 35,000 students and offers a comprehensive range of undergraduate and graduate programs.

2. Clemson University in Clemson: With around 29,000 students, Clemson is well-known for its strong programs in engineering, agriculture, and business.

3. College of Charleston in Charleston: This public liberal arts college has a population of approximately 12,000 students and is located in historic downtown Charleston.

4. Coastal Carolina University in Conway: Located near the popular tourist destination Myrtle Beach, Coastal Carolina University is home to roughly 11,000 students.

5. Winthrop University in Rock Hill: Another mid-sized college with around 6,000 students, Winthrop offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees in a variety of fields.

Take some time to research each of these institutions and their offerings to see which may be the best overall fit for your interests and desired college experience, as even large schools located in the same state can be quite different in terms of overall vibe.

As you build your college list, you may also find college search engines useful, like CollegeVine's, which allows you to filter schools based on a range of factors, including not just location and size, but also majors offered, student/faculty ratio, admissions requirements, and so on. This tool can help you build a list of schools that are sure to be a good all-around fit for you.

Best of luck in your college search!
